39 Republicans voted FOR the Respect for Marriage Act a few weeks ago because it plays well in their districts. Gym Jordan and Matt Gaetz garbage does not. He can spout grandiose bullshit all the wants. It's theater. He's smart enough to know how weak he and his party actually are right now.

He’s barely smart enough to know how weak he is, but not smart enough nor politically savvy enough to have cut deals with the right people to shore up support where it would do the most good. Instead, he sank to the lowest and dumbest common denominator.
