THEY LOST THE HOUSE BY NOT DOING ANYTHING. THE SENATE CONFIRMED JUDGES, BUT THE HOUSE GOP LEADERSHIP NEVER SHOWED VOTERS WHY IT MATTERED: Goodlatte: House Leadership Blocked Trump-Backed Immigration Reform. “Goodlatte’s statement matches the June statement by Rep. Jim Jordan, who said: ‘If our leadership had put the same whip effort behind that immigration legislation, Chairman Goodlatte’s legislation, it would have passed.’ . . . Retiring House Speaker Paul Ryan made the decision to create the rival bill that blocked Goodlatte’s bill.”

You can put your donors ahead of your voters, but it’s hard to do that while keeping the majority.
