Well when many have no real leadership skills of course it’s a screw up. To many under the table back door deals. Too many selfish cowards

Their constituents call their offices and voice an opinion. People that work for the representative start talking to them about possible primary opponents.  Other politicians talk to them and deals are made as sadly most political situations require.  No threats.  You, a highly knowledgeable individual should know this.  

Honestly, I like ugly politics.  You learn much about many of the representatives in a party.  2016 will live on in slowly changing the R party where the representatives will be forced to live up to the word representative and not lock step vote with the liberal university graduates hiding behind an R.  Let it be nasty!

The days of Mitt, the Bush family, Liz, and dare I say our own state rep, Drunk Dade, are coming to an end. It will get worse in the next few years, but it is changing. 

Things are still positive. Reps are showing their true intentions and primary challengers are ready. Let Jim Jordan have his fight.  He's up for it. 

Your turn...find a typo...a grammar mistake and have a cute comeback.

Agree 100%, like I've said before, democracy is messy.

 at 11am amid escalating tensions within the House GOP, with several of Jordan’s critics stating that they had gotten credible threats because they did not vote for him for speaker. Jordan has repeatedly condemned those threats.

[BS Wildcats]

Republicans are given the majority in the House and proving they can’t handle it.  No wonder our government is so dysfunctional.
