The OP article has no "point" at all except the same shit that has been posted on DU for the past 10 years.
There is a complete disconnect by some that the GOP had and still HAS an agenda and with help from the Adelsons and Kochs and Mercers and many Russians, they were going to get their agenda enacted no matter what. AND now they have the RW-owned Sinclair literally forcing its stations to air pre-packaged propaganda.
Their first prong was the tax giveaway, the 2nd prong is the death of the ACA by a thousand cuts after failing over 80 times to repeal it... the third prong was the SCOTUS, and after that we will see them attempt to gut much of the "New Deal" programs - including the FARM bill due up this year.
Hanging a hat on a right-winger on a mission like Grassley is like running a fool's errand.... even if the person isn't running again like Flake, who has a big mouth as a "critic", they are guaranteed to vote for anything put in front of them by their party.
