Not gonna lie, it's immensely entertaining to see them eat their own and label each other opportunists.

I might be wishcasting here, but I think it reflects a fear that their window is closing, if not has already closed, and it's about alloting/avoiding blame now.

It's a shame they took the house. I thought we were sort of on track to keep them out.

It was a near-impossibility that the Democrats would keep the House due to gerrymandering and the issues in play. Predictions in summer had the Republicans having as much as a 40-seat margin. But the results are so close, plus the nature of the loonies, is that the Republicans will have trouble getting anything done besides promoting outrage in their base.

Which potentially leads to a bigger success margin next time around, I suppose.

Maybe. No idea what the political landscape is like in two years, tho the gerrymandering is a legit advantage.

Just saw that, fantastic news! Now let's just hope there's none of the GQP "fraud" claims.
No, it's going to be piling on about what a lousy candidate Walker was (which is true) and further blaming Trump (mostly true). And talk about having to do better in picking candidates (true, but will be ignored in the future).
I saw a video of his concession speech, sounded like he wore his big boy pants last night, no fraud or conspiracy BS at all.

He knew that the party was done with him. Hell, in the last week he let other GOP senators do all the talking for him. If he had any shame he'd be embarrassed, but he's just a dope who's been coasting on his fame and doesn't know much else.

Given the tight numbers in the House, I can see the GOP doing all it can to ride this out. What's a few fraudulent biographies amongst Congressional members?

I saw this a bit earlier today, I wonder if they will boot him from Congress or to Doc's point, do everything they can to sweep it under the rug to save a vote. As tRump would say "sad".

Most of them are perfectly fine with an attempted coup so I guess this sort of thing is to be expected.

The O in GOP stands for ouroboros.
I'm finding all of this extremely funny.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
