Here what I've been sweating, from day one, 2015. Republicant's can not and will not "hold the line". Now were going to see which Can't are dressed in red and wearing blue panties.
Tog's right, they are idiots, and they prove it every time they snap the ball.

President Trump, after enjoying a brief stretch of party unity in the wake of the rowdy 2016 race, is facing renewed criticism from the Republican ranks -- upping pressure on him to smooth over tensions when he addresses a Joint Session of Congress next week.
While Trump won the Republican nomination, and to some extent the presidency, without a great deal of support from congressional Republicans, they are now one of his most important constituencies. The president needs their help not only to confirm his remaining Cabinet picks but turn his ambitious policy agenda into action.
Asked Wednesday about the president's goals for his Feb. 28 speech, Press Secretary Sean Spicer said Trump will lay out his "vision" and discuss the "problems we face" -- and a blueprint for where to go from here.
But some of the GOP lawmakers who could be influential champions of that agenda -- on ObamaCare repeal, tax reform and more -- are increasingly getting on his case over recent controversies. The tensions could test the fragile peace that has existed between Trump and Capitol Hill Republicans in the aftermath of their November win, and their cooperation going forward.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who was never shy criticizing Trump during the campaign, seemingly has returned to his ?maverick? role. On Sunday, reacting to a tweet Trump sent Friday calling the press ?the enemy of the American People,? McCain warned that without a free and adversarial press: ?That's how dictators get started.?
"They get started by suppressing free press," McCain told NBC?s "Meet the Press." "In other words, a consolidation of power when you look at history, the first thing that dictators do is shut down the press. And I'm not saying that President Trump is trying to be a dictator. I'm just saying we need to learn the lessons of history."
In a speech at the Munich Security Conference in Germany on Friday, the Arizona senator didn't mention Trump by name, but said the founders of the conference would be alarmed ?more of our fellow citizens seem to be flirting with authoritarianism.?
He also noted ?the hardening resentment we see towards immigrants and refugees and minority groups, especially Muslims? ? an apparent reference to Trump?s attempts to limit refugees and migrants from some Muslim-majority countries.
McCain?s remarks led The Washington Post to declare that McCain ?just systematically dismantled Donald Trump?s entire worldview.?
Some Republicans have criticized McCain. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., not known for his strong support of Trump, said on ABC?s ?The Week? that McCain ?has been wrong on just about everything over the last four decades.?
?We?re very lucky John McCain?s not in charge because I think we'd be in perpetual war,? he added.
But the 2008 GOP presidential nominee is not the only Trump critic piping up from the Republican side, including in the libertarian wing where Paul often resides.
Rep. Justin Amash, R-Mich., used Twitter to lambaste Trump?s criticism of a recent court ruling against his executive order on immigration. Amash decried Trump?s ?fear mongering? as ?irresponsible and dangerous.?
And the RNC wonders why they loose every midterm election! Idiots!
