Return of the Eunuch Caucus

Return of the Eunuch Caucus

by digby

I’m just going to leave this here:

Privately, House Republicans complain that Trump’s infrastructure plan reeks of Obama’s stimulus package (though some argue that Trump, unlike Obama, is likely to rely on public-private partnerships, not just federal dollars, and is likely to be paid for). . . . 

Many are afraid to publicly oppose Trump because of his fondness for retribution and use of Twitter to publicly shame his critics. So now, they’re left crossing their fingers that his rhetoric doesn’t translate into actual policy proposals next year.

I used to call the congressional Republicans the Eunuch Caucus during the Bush years. Looks like they’re reverting to type.
