Which has always been weird and about to get weirder.

And rich with irony. Why do Republican congresspeople go to work in Washington? They could just stay home and avoid town halls. They could come back to DC when trump needs a hoard of grinning monkeys behind him when he signs something. For decades now republicans have failed to lead, govern and manage money. They grovel and nod politely and say incredibly inane nonsense. Todays gop congress, killing us all by doing nothing.

so maybe he's just going along to get along, thinking he looks like a 'reasonable' guy to the average GOP voter, and therefore might have a chance at the Big Office when Americans finally rid themselves of homegrown Caligula and want restful bland for a while.
