What is the difference from the GOOP and the Broncos?

The Broncos wear bike cups for protection.

The GOP-e wear bike cups to fool people into believing there's something there.

If they don’t “screw it up” it will not be because they have not tried.

Historically the Republicans, when in control of the House, have acted most of the time as if they are the minority party, deferring to the Democrats. Actually they act as if the Democrats are the natural ruling party and they don’t want to make them mad.

What if they consider every “Democrat win” as their own victory?

The Republicans ARE Democrats, They are the Official Opposition Division of The Party.

What if they DON’T WANT the responsibility of having control of Congress?

That's my theory. Having to lead might risk their sinecures.

Replace them before they have a chance to screw it up.

The Broncos are far better at what they do.

That's what they said the last time the GOP retook the Senate, that they were better at using minority power. These days, they aren't even competent at that.

That is what I've been saying for years. We once gave them control of the Senate, The House, The Presidency and a majority on the Supreme Court.

They threw it away as fast as they could!
