First Read: “What’s particularly striking about yesterday, however, is the reaction from GOP congressional leaders, as well as rank-and-file Republicans: They were livid, and they communicated that outrage to reporters. So what ultimately incensed them (at least publicly and so quickly) wasn’t Charlottesville, or Arpaio, or DACA – it was Trump agreeing to a three-month increase of the debt limit.”
“Then again, it’s not like Ryan, McConnell and other Republicans weren’t warned. Ever since Trump captured the GOP nomination in 2016, there have been three political parties in Washington – the Republican Party, the Democratic Party, and Trump Party. And yesterday was the Trump Party flexing its muscles.”
James Hohmann: “Another key reason Republican leaders are mad: Trump has once again humiliated Paul Ryan.”
