    Newt was significant because he was able to turn being a huge asshole into a political asset rather than a liability. 
    And that Congress actually balanced the budget (republicans Congress and bill Clinton). But of course the assholeness should be the focus….

    Especially when dealing with certain anti-democracy hemorrhoids.
    Anti-inflammatories help.  Biden is doing what he can.
    I would continue the metaphor, butt... well... :lol:

    It died the day Trump was made the GOP nominee.  

    It's been a stinking, rotting corpse since. Prove me wrong. 
    People have been saying this since Reagan though.

    It has or seems to have gotten worse since Trump by great leaps and bounds.
    Since Reagan? Nah...

    People on the other side have been vehemently disagreeing the Republicans for decades but it is exponentially different now as the Maga people have turned their backs on those very same traditional republicans. Case in point: the quintessential Republican and Republican family Liz Cheney. 
    Did you forget that all of the US punk rockers HATED Ronnie?  Or that Bush Jr was, as Vedder put it "Damien Omen 3", lol.

    It used to be the Democratic party that ate their own.  The Liz Cheyney thing is interesting.

    Yes, being an asshole is a central focus to the republican party, and not so much policy. Not really any policy.

    Yeah, Ed got booed singing about W Bush.  Those exact same people would cheer that song today. 

    It’s very Republican to hate him now.  I think some of the Liz angle is a Cheney is a bush by association

    Being able to “see it” were her stated foreign policy credentials.  

    The new breed of right wingers in the house aren’t even original.  Not sure what’s worse. Not having a clue or realising not having a clue is an asset

    Well, she does get to run again in a three way race in November and that will truly determine if there is one. I’m not praying there is.
