and you pick up some fleas!

I agree with you that they thought they could manage him. He was definitely their useful idiot. He had no interest in governing or the actual job of being President, so they figured they would shove in as many judges as they could and get their tax cuts. Then they were happy to let him demolish the federal government and sow discord in the populace.

Too bad for them, he got a little big for the britches they wanted him to wear (KFC will do that to a man), and he started doing his own stuff.

So, now what? They are truly stuck between a rock and a hard place. Speak out and piss off their base, or stay silent and watch the whole Republican party swirl down the drain.

Sucks to be them!
