You are what you are, Pete. I forgive you. You're way too old to change.

It will be interesting to see the (relatively) moderate Republicans (McConnell, Boehner) who know this fighting against the 'Bagger faction who have made disagreeing with Obama an article of faith. This election could prove to be a Pyrrhic victory for the GOP if they don't get their governance shit together.

Right. Now they have to prove that what they have to offer is actually worth something. Like they did with majorities in house senate, and the fool-in-chief behind the oval office desk in 2000 - '06.

How'd that work out?

Wailing and impotent gnashing of teeth will ensue from the 'baggers while Cruz grins like a egg faced possum in the back of the henhouse.

Most if not all of that 'red meat' nonsense will never see the President's desk for a veto.

Heh..in other words, turnabout is fair play?

If you think the people that run the GOP are going to let you into their private club by anything other than the service entrance you are dumber than you look. You will be just another one of the plunderees.

So bend over and spread your cheeks.

How do you know how I look TJ?

You're taking this well. I thought there'd be more gloom and despair here overall.

Why?

1. It's a known pattern.
2. Will spotlight Republican fissures.
3. Clears a path for Hillary.
4. Ensures a swing back under her leadership.

Tactical fail, strategic win.
