        The problem is that eventually, they’ll get someone that just won’t reach across the isle, assuming that this guy isn’t himself the one.

            You understand how that plays right into the traitor caucus’ hands, right? That’s hardly “fun.”

                The traitor caucus doesn’t give a flying fuck about other Republicans’ electoral chances. Real damage is done both to all the things managed by the federal government and to the federal workforce itself (in terms of attrition and lower morale) every time the government shuts down. That harm is, in their warped, traitorous worldview, a win.

                  Fortunately we have the Telecommunications Act to make sure that they have full control over all media airwaves in the areas that count the most: the rural AM talk show market.
