Like 1st mates on a pirate ship lost at sea w-No intention of telling outlaw captain he has no clue

silver bullet Warrenton VA 4 hours ago

Dr. Krugman, the Republicans can't govern because their party has been in a moral free fall for years. The GOP's many sins, such as blocking the nomination of Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court to spite President Obama, giving aid and comfort to the rise of their party's support for a candidate wholly unsuited to for the presidency, stonewalling every initiative by a black president to prohibit his effective governance of the country even though he pulled the country out of a recession caused by, you guessed it, a Republican president.

The Republicans have been so blinded with hatred of Obamacare that they can't see straight. Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan, like first mates on a pirate ship lost at sea, have no intention of telling their skull and crossbones outlaw captain that he doesn't have the faintest idea of how to navigate the Republican ship. What the rogue captain will do is predictably make McConnell and Ryan walk the plank. And then blame it on President Obama.
