          Newt Gingrich was arguably worse. He just didn’t have the entire republican party as vocally awful and with him about it. The state of politics as a whole in this country has devolved so much that it will make whoever’s in charge of the republican party terrible. I have little hope of improvement in the near future. The Republicans are going to need to go through a decade or so of not being able to win a majority before we see any change.

        They may very well be worse, but what I’m counting on is them not having the skills/ability to keep the GOP one cohesive unit.

        Say what you will about Mitch, but you can’t deny that he’s good at his job. Or, well, he used to be, at least

          They only thing I will say about that man is that he is a huge, hypocritical piece of shit, who is directly responsible for the decline in decorum.
