Melanie Zanona, Annie Grayer, and Haley Talbot report on the exodus of Republicans from the US House. 23 have announced they will not seek re-election or resigned, including five committee chairs.
They're fed up with the dysfunction in their party and with the way the hard-right wing now calls the shots, bullying everyone else. Rep. Ken Buck of Colorado says, “They’ve signed up to do serious things. And we’re not doing serious things.”
“I thought that some of our members would be smarter.
A lot of us are frustrated with what’s going on, and that’s just being flat-out honest. It’s foolish. And it’s been proven to be foolish. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.”
@wdlindsy the Republican party hasn't changed. This was always where it was headed. That some people who don't like trump refuse to see that is their personal fantasy and not anyone else's problem.
