Just think, this is who the Tea Nuts DIDN’T want.

Something tells me that in the next four months or so we’re going to be hearing a lot from the Republicans about how the Senate is the problem. Just a feeling I have.

It’s an attention-span thing, maybe? The objects of their poutrage seem to cycle around endlessly.

Someone should tell this feckless simpleton that you can’t complain
about the dysfunction (dysfunction McCarthy and republicans created and
continue to perpetrate) in DC when you refuse to work with the Senate
majority leader.

Well, that’s mighty white of ya there, Kevin!

Let the Repubelickin backbiting and betrayals begin anew. It’s so cute.

He’s right you know.
It’s well nigh on impossible to negotiate with an individual when your entire legislative caucus is completely out of their depth when simply saying: ā€œGood Morning Mr. President.ā€

ā€œexplaining that the Democrat-controlled Senate blocks bills and keeps the House bills from the President.ā€

And the Republic-controlled House blocks bills and keeps the Senate bills from the President."

I blame the 2010 election that gave rise to the nuts and put the keys to the House in these do-thing’s hands.

Bravo.

By the way - if Sen. Reid is to blame for blocking 52+ votes on ObamaCare, giving MORE tax cuts to the 1% and putting it on the backs of the rest of us, taking away MORE voting rights. taking away funding for women’s health and giving rise to MORE pollution in our air…then THANK YOU HARRY.

Please vote 2014.

Is it just me or does this guy have a strong resemblance to Cantor? His face, his mannerisms, the end result, all very familiar. The other aging young gun, Ryan, will be back pretending to be important and a shaper of the ā€œnewā€ Republican Party all over again as they fall in line, all over again.

The big shake up in the GOP is imaginary. They will shrivel and die before they change for the better.

There is very little chance of Dems taking the House back this year. There is a significant chance that they could take the Senate. So it makes sense to focus efforts on the Senate.

Especially because, there is absolutely no polling today that gives them a net 6 seats in the Senate.

No, Ryan will continue to stay in the back ground and appear above it all. He is perfectly happy with letting someone else take the black eyes that come from trying to herd the cats that is the republican caucus today.

Less than a week on the job and already he is stuck with projection. What a clown. He’s going to fit in fine in the fantasy land of the House.

You demand things and when he doesn’t comply, you threaten to shut down government, threaten the full faith and credit of the US by toying with the debt ceiling default—AND when he doesn’t capitulate, you blame him for all that is wrong with this country. Rinse, repeat.

And, we, no who, needs three Cantor cut outs?

There may be little chance of taking back the House this cycle but even still a few seats may change. If that trend continues then eventually the majority will change.
So many people reflexively vote GOP that I cannot imagine the party drying up and blowing away. It’ll just lurch further to the right.

We commonly see our 5yr old grandson going straight for what he wants and ignoring any negotiation
Now, I suppose there are corollaries among the GOPers. Give them a shiny object and they could be satisfied into thinking they scored a short term political point. After all I’ve not seen any thinking in depth or impetus to negotiate coming from that clown car. In fact they campaign on the idea that they never compromise on anything as if that is a technique to be valued. I’ve heard it used in advertizing also (You don’t compromise…and you never have…that’s why you like our products)
