All of the grinning Republican mogwai are dancing and throwing confetti. The Republican masses hoped for the best, but it is not turning out well.
Rotten!

"But aren’t politicians always cynical? Not to this degree," Krugman writes. "This whole process involves a level of bad faith we haven’t seen in U.S. politics since the days when defenders of slavery physically assaulted their political foes on the Senate floor."
For Krugman, "the rot is wide as well as deep."

Krugman argues there's only one solution: sweep the entire party out of office. "Until or unless that happens," he concludes, "there’s no telling how low the G.O.P. will sink."

What I find remarkable is that so many Senators seem blindsided by the bad numbers, which were totally predictable. They really believed in Mnuchin's mnonexistent study; really didn't think JCT would mirror other analyses

What this tells you is that even McCain, Collins, Murkowski et al live in the conservative media and intellectual bubble. They didn't know what any regular reader of the NYT, WaPo, etc. knew. They trusted obviously untrustworthy people

Hard as it may be to believe, I suspect that many Republicans didn't see this coming. As I've said before, they don't even know what serious analysis looks like, and thought that Heritage and the Tax Foundation were credible
