They are treating it like a club membership rather than a public trust. They claim they are afraid of DJT but I doubt that all of them are. Speaker Johnson has derailed the functions of Congress, but that is not the preference of a number of GOP members who would rather get something done for the folks in their district or the country. Speaker Johnson is as inept at his job as any hand picked Trump administrator. He only knows how to say NO, and then run away to hide from the outcome of that NO!
