re: #457 Big Beautiful Door

I think y’all might be overestimating how ideologically coherent the GOP will be when it actually has to govern instead of obstruct. Senators and Congressman have to answer to constituents, which means Paul Ryan doesn’t get everyone of his ideological fantasies automatically enacted into law.

Oh, but they have Jim DeMint and the Heritage Foundation (and lots and lots of money) to help them achieve their goals; and ALEC to write the legislation.
