Republicans are so worried! They just got their hats handed to them in the 2018 midterms, and now their party has suffered a needless, self-inflicted 35-day shutdown debacle. Not only has their criminal President looked like a fool, but they've cost the economy billions, infuriated ordinary Americans, and outed themselves as completely insensitive and out of touch with working people.
Actually, nothing about them is different. It's just that it's all out in the open, now.
For decades, there's been absolutely no reason for anyone to vote GOP. Nobody in the Republican Party cares about them. We re-learned that from Willard Mitt Romney's "47 percent" video, back in 2012, and with the ascendance of Donald Trump, the Republicans have gotten even worse. But what offends us almost more than Trump are the Republicans who thought they could surrender to Trump's takeover of their party and just slink by, avoiding any damage that the narcissistic sociopath they nominated would inflict on the country.
When we picture Republicans like that, we see the moronic grin of the ever-opportunistic Paul Ryan. But there are many more just like him.
"I hope we get some common sense," New York GOP Congressman Peter King said after the shutdown, wringing his hands. What we think you will get, Mr. King, is a bunch more Republican retirements — especially among the teabags who were elected in 2010 and have never had a taste of life in the minority. We cats PURR.
