This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Assuming he wins I doubt much changes. by wpkirish
If the Republicans are in the majority it seems unlikely to be a majority of one where his defection on votes would cause an issue. I would expect the MAGA folks to continue to control the caucus. I dont see how Hogan would be able to change anything Romney has not been able to change.
I heard Adam Kinzinger on a pdcast the other day on the Bulwark podcast. I am paraphrasing Kinzinger and he was discussing the House not the Senate but basically said the crazie hold all the cards because they are the ones willing to blow everything up. Until the "normal" members have both the willingness and the power to do the same the Crazies will continue to rule the roost.
