The Republican establishment has tolerated all sorts of moral turpitude in order to give the wealthy even more money. Trump, Bannon, Moore...They keep swallowing these awful people in order to make sure billionaires have even more money.
The problem is that the GOP is really, really bad at legislating.
The Byrd Rule - which Republicans have to follow, because they won't and haven't tried to get any Democratic votes - means that there are a great many restrictions on what can be in any tax bill. It doesn't look like the Senate bill can even pass the Senate. Plus, you have some fiscal conservatives actually behaving like fiscal conservatives.
All of this is the backdrop for the Moore-Jones matchup in a few weeks. If, somehow, enough Republicans and Independents can behave like moral human beings and not just Republican drones, maybe Democrats can completely upend this drive towards plutocracy.
Maybe.
