But, as seen again in these remarks, there is obviously real affection there, and it just might have helped save ACA.

Ted Cruz? Nahgonna.
Mitch McConnell? Nahgonna.
Tehran Tom Cotton? Nahgonna. Nope.

Find me a Republican who hasn't sold his soul for Koch, who hasn't licked the little balls of Donald AnusMouth, maybe we can find some common ground. At this point, I haven't seen one.

The true republicans are gone. They went away with Eisenhower. What we have today is what you have described perfectly.

He's been nothing but destructive of the Senate and our system.
