Of course they do. It is a vote getter. It enrages folks like you and Mike. And there is no downside for them because they know they already have your vote every 2 years.

Johnson apparently is going to wimp-out with Trump and give him his campaign issue, rather than do his duty to his voters.

Well, I suspect I can live with the status quo better than you can. As pointed out already, even if Trump wins, he won't be able to do anything. He'll never get 60 votes in the Senate for his ludicrous ideas (like a wall in the middle of a river).

Plus Putin could finally get his victory in Ukraine. Way to go, Reps!

This is your best shot to get some of what you want, but you're going to squander it in the name of absolutism and Trump. Many Reps are just as bad as the progressive wing of the Dems... They want it all, or they torpedo everything.
