Amid a stalled fight in Congress over the future of a $1 trillion coronavirus aid package, a parallel battle has been coming into focus: a struggle for the future of the Republican Party.

Behind closed doors in both the House and Senate this week, Republican lawmakers saw their ire focused not on Democrats, but instead at each other, a product lawmakers and strategists say of President Donald Trump’s sinking poll numbers.

“They’re dealing with a grim reality,” Doug Heye, a Republican strategist and former senior House aide, said of the outlook in congressional campaign committees.

The disagreements that broke out last week appeared to be over fiscal issues like continuing the $600 a week unemployment payments and just how much money the federal government should continue to pump into the struggling economy.

But every fight revealed a party that appears to be looking past the dire outlook of November and on to the possibility of a leadership reshuffle in the winter.

God help us all if McConnell is at the helm for a minute longer. I thought his term was up this year, but I guess not.

And if by some fluke the republicans hold a majority in the Senate, but Biden is President, I would not be surprised if McConnell refuses to confirm any Supreme Court justices.

But, back to the article, what I wonder is whether in a post-I-1 Congress, those who have enabled I-1's constant stream of crap will be held accountable, or whether they will just sort of pretend the last four years didn't happen.

I may disagree with 90% of their positions, but I can respect an honest conservative. I cannot respect any of the republican clowns in Congress today. They are all damaged goods. Flush the whole lot of them down the drain and start over.
