It sounds like the Republican leadership treated their retreat like a giant therapeutic session for the Republican caucus. It’s surprising that it seems to have gone so well considering that they were basically telling their rank and file that they had been acting so crazily that people would rather have the scabies than say anything nice about them.
People do not like hostage-takers, and they don’t like people who talk about rape all the time. They don’t like representatives that spend all their time doing pointless things like passing 33 bills to repeal ObamaCare that the Senate didn’t even deign to smell.
Can we dare to hope for a little more sanity this year?
