They’ll give a damn when their first polls come in next year and they’re running far thinner margins than they were last go around. The Freedom Caucus crowd doesn’t give a fuck, they could drop their drawers and piss on the audience and get reelected. But guys like Ryan or Issa who hail from purple and blue districts? They’re suddenly going to acquire a lump in their collective throats when they realize that being best buds with the Vulgar Talking Yam is acting like lead on their poll numbers.

Bernie Trump’s doing his best, with the help of the professional left, to keep the Republicans in power; most American liberals don’t want the responsibility and compromises required in government any more than conservatives do. Conservatives, however, are much better at getting into office…
