The Captains gettin’ done ready to split because he run outta dimes.Yessir. Everybody wants to be Captain...until there's "Captain Stuff" needing to be done.
One of the biggest things that ruined the GOP, in my opinion, was being able to sit back during the Obama Administration and run-up their Congressional and state-level advantages, while opposing the Captain from the safety of the galley rec-room. They felt like they got rewarded for doing nothing, and the GOP came away from that experience with the impression that loudly protesting from the shadows was a safe and sustainable way for them to stay relevant. All the really big culture-war issues were getting settled by fiat by the 5-4 Anthony Kennedy Supreme Court, giving the GOP a pass on those ("There's nothing we can do - The Court settled it"), and corporate PAC money streamed in to support congressional Republicans in their opposition to Obama, while the CEOs of those same companies were elbowing each other out of the way for photo-ops with the FSBP (First Sorta Black President). There was never a time when Republicans got rewarded so much, for doing so little.
