Ryan bites the dust

It's RINO hunting season in Washington DC- - - - - -Now maybe McCain will croak, and McConnell will get the message as well. Graham- - - - -who knows? He's a dinosaur who is long overdue to become a barrel of crude oil. There's a possibility some of these guys will get replaced by other swamp rats, but let's hope there are people out there who are actually more concerned with representing their constituents than getting reelected for decades. Wasn't it Reagan who said politicians and diapers need to be changed regularly, and for the same reason?

Bread and circuses.
Ryan talks through his nose, Schumer looks over the top of his glasses.
You ignore the fact that, with all of its untold faults, the Republican Party is still the only participant in the federal government that even makes a show of allowing debate of the issues. It has a major conservative faction, a small but active contingent of outspoken liberals, and a huge contingent of milquetoast moderates who will simply go with the power. These factions, and some of the individuals, fight tooth and nail with each other to pass legislation in both houses of Congress. Republicans have a majority in both Houses, yet every bill is practically a fight to the death to get agreement.
Conversely, the Democrat Party marches in total lockstep, with no debate, because any deviation from the party line is suicide. The nearest it has come to dissent within the ranks, in at least the last three decades, was an old commie challenging the anointed candidate in the 2016 election...all the while knowing that the fix was in and he never had a prayer.
How does it feel to be one of not too many Democrats that actually know how corrupt their own party is, and having to go out and sell it, anyway, to all of the mindless minions, with absolutely no other weapon except vilifying the opposing candidates? Don't you ever wish that your party would actually have some goal that might actually benefit the majority of the country, instead of relying completely on lies and half-truths against the opposition? Wouldn't you be proud of just one dissenter to the party line, who would fight bravely against the party machine to clean it up?
Sure, if you even bother to reply, you will say that both sides do it. Of course they do. But the difference is that there are factions and individuals in the Republican Party that actually still believe in the Constitution, and are still doing all they can to shine a bright light on the corruption. They have to overcome their own corrupt leadership, as well as every Democrat, and 95% of the media, to be heard, and sometimes they can't get re-elected because their party throws big bucks behind whoever runs against them. They can't get on any of the important committees because the leadership hates their guts. Many of them resign in disgust, after years of swimming upstream, but some hang on, because they are patriots.
Imagine, if you can, what it would be like if both parties had all of these different ideas, and allowed them to be debated on the floor, before a vote. It would be exactly what the founding fathers envisioned, and similar to what made the country great.

It looks like Mark Twain was a prophet- - - - -Just substitute "Hilary" for "Tom Sawyer", and plug in all the swamp rats from Comey to McCabe to Obama to Whatshername Schultz instead of the kids who begged to share in the whitewash job on the fence!

Edit to add: Never mind, I just looked him up. Running as a Demonrat, and Mayor of Miami.
