Stocking Congress with progressive Republicans, who talk a conservative game but act in concert with progressive Democrats, is an excellent, ancient, tried-and-true strategy
It’s the Autumnal Equinox, the first day of fall. It just keeps coming around.
So does the Kabuki Theater in congress over the debt ceiling, which will ultimately be raised. The show that accompanies the process will be characterized by the usual irrational plot, appalling acting, extremely competent Democrat propaganda and not much benefit for the nation.
Republicans know very well that the Democrat propaganda machine has already revved up and is snorting and pawing at the gate, ready to trample on Republicans for any interference whatsoever in the process to raise the debt ceiling. This causes one to wonder: where is the Republican response, and why does it always seem to be suspiciously faint?
