    Any Republican that works with Dems any more than McCarthy is likely to be primaried. They have brainwashed their base to think Dems = Evil, and working with them is worse than a deal with the Devil.

    Republicans are stuck in this weird place where they do not have enough votes for a majority without the freedom caucus, but the base will replace them if they work with Dems. As such, they placate the freedom caucus.

      They can't do it like wounded gazelles. They have to act together or in larger numbers. Don't get picked off one by one.

      I know they are cowards, but jeez, I guess they can't trust each other enough to do it together.
