        What he’s saying is so absurd and factually unsupported on its surface (Democrats are trying to shut down the government to demand health care for illegal immigrants) that I don’t believe even he believes what he’s saying. He’s just like the rest of them, he’ll say and do whatever he thinks he needs to in order to achieve his ideological ends, and he’ll wrap himself in the flag and the cross while doing so. No one principled remains in that party.

          I 100% agree. my response was intended to be sarcasm about how full of shit they are. as if they only trick themselves into believing it in the moment and as soon as the moment passes so does their belief.

          That isn’t to say I think they actually believe anything they say. I foolishly thought the sarcasm was obvious, I should probably just add /s bt efault.
