    What’s separating those GOP groups right now isn’t ideology. They’re all basically on the same page when it comes to fixing global warming (don’t), fixing health care (don’t), funding infrastructure (don’t), killing schools (do), making sure “those people” know their place (do), funding the military industrial complex (do), and giving tax credits to rich people (do).

    What separates them is how much they’re willing to support a single person–Donald Trump–and how much they’re willing to work in a bipartisan way. Some of them are willing to go to war with their own party over these.

      I might be slow to follow politics. Is “killing schools” about defunding them, or about openly supplying children with guns to literally kill their occupants? Or, does it even matter…
