Not long ago House Carnival Barker Matt Gaetz and his foolish followers led the ouster of Kevin McCarthy from the Speakership because he refused to take the "hard-line" stance on not bargaining with the Democrats. New Speaker Johnson was going to lead a revolution!
Fast-forward a few months and McCarthy has decided to hang it up and get out of the DC cesspool, which can potentially reduce the already thin majority, and Johnson has struck a bi-partisan deal to keep the Government in business. Now the hardcore Republicans are mad! What the hell did they expect?
While I 100% agree with their goal, I 100% disagree that said goals are realistic. Politics is a game of bargaining and, well, just a game in itself. It seems the Republicans don't learn from all the practice they have been getting and defeats in the elections.
