I don’t agree with that. Here is the real difference between Democrats and Republicans. Most Democrats genuinely and even fervently believe in the Leftist agenda. They are eager to advance it, and when given the chance they don’t split into factions so as to kill/deny the Leftist legislation. They vote in a block.
Republicans don’t believe in conservatism. They believed in Obama. Anything and everything he asked for he got—sometimes even more than he asked for. There’s a quote from McConnell about how excited and even ecstatic he was to fulfill Obama’s legislative goals. He sounds like a gushing schoolgirl.
But McConnell is hardly alone. When did the so-called conservatives ever band together and demand Ryan and McConnell stop complying with Obama’s every whim? When did they vociferously protest his unconstitutional lack of a budget (Rand Paul, anyone?) and unconstitutional use of CRs??? Obama got away with that for eight years, with nary a peep from the vaunted ‘conservatives.’
Our great ‘conservatives’ only remember the Constitution when there’s an effort afoot to rollback any of Obama’s agenda. Otherwise, they are the swamp.
Note: Rand Paul probably did vote against the CRs. But he kept it very low key and quiet, so as not to embarrass Obama or his swamp masters. I.e.: he only makes it a big public issue when he’s preventing the dismantling of any part of Obamacare.
