From Steve Benen:
There’s still a temptation among many in the political/media establishment to pretend that congressional Republicans are a credible major-party caucus capable of problem-solving, creative solutions, and bipartisan compromise. I haven’t the foggiest idea why anyone would believe such a fanciful notion.
The next reporter who compares Mitch McConnell to Everett Dirksen, gets it in the head.
