The Republican Cage Match!

It is going to be interesting to watch the battle for the Republican Party for the next couple of years. The Trumpers v Tea Party v The Traditionalist.

A word of caution to our own extremist, we have a slim majority in the house and still a minority in the senate... no voting room for a new Blue Dog caucus. We have to work as a team.

...Scott Walker took jobs on the sideline. Ted Cruz has. Even a Trumper until lately, and Rand Paul has has basically kept his head down.
Lying Ted started his “deficits matter” Tea party talk this week changing the subject from Trump defeat. Mitt Romney (the traditionalist leader) has issued a couple of prepared statements about how Trump needs to accept defeat and John Kasich came out with his anti liberals message this morning. Then we have the Trump wing, will it be Trump himself or will it be JR. or Ivanka? Will Matt Gaetz or Jim Jorden’s crew make a move for power representing the Trump wing? Who the Qanon people stand behind? Will Steve Bannon emerge as a power broker? Alex Jones?
