re: #25 Wendell Zurkowitz (slave to the waffle light)

They got things done, but at the cost of enraging a lot of people in their party. People with long memories and big chips on their shoulders…

Which means nothing to John Boehner, since he has retired. Paul Ryan didn’t get tarred by it much and he can count on election coverage to make people forget (most of those people you’re thinking of don’t really have long memories). The only one who might get some blowback is McConnell and he’s the best at handling it.
