re: #244 The Vicious Babushka

Does GOHMERT!!!!1!!!! have an actual chance in freaking hell of becoming SOTH? Because he could fuck some serious shit up.

Not likely. I give him about a 10% chance. And that’s probably too much.

As for the damage he could do, what exactly can he do?

Push the House to open impeachment? The TP has been begging to do that for years.

Push to defund Obamacare? They’ve been attempting that for years, and President would eventually veto anything coming across his desk.

Attack science and education? They’ve been on that road for years, and it would be all the more public as to what the GOP agenda is all about.

It would be ugly, but there’d be more sound and fury, and less results. The GOP has to actually attempt to govern, and it simply isn’t in their DNA to do that now, or at any time in the past decade. They want to defund, delay, and destroy the federal government by any means necessary. That’s not governance. It’s a recipe for disaster for the GOP (and the nation if anything manages to survive a Presidential veto - which until now have been few and far between).
