The heat is turning up. Remember how many Rs were not feeling great about Ryan?

that apparently precedes this abomination. I don't think it will be that long until this goes beyond the Left/Progressives, as the Republicans have gotten so outrageous that the BS has gone beyond their little confines. When their own, see also the reaction to the selection of Paul Ryan, are distancing and demanding retractions, not a good thing.

Hopefully the Democrats won't entirely rely on the Republicans chastising their own.
