I have a feeling as time goes on and as we learn more about how government was run the last 10 years, we are going to find Hannitys fingerprints all over the place.
Hannity is a strong believer in 'fuck you' politics. He believes that even if the country is split 48-52.....even if congress is split 52% gop / 48% democrat, the group with 52% (assuming its republicans, this only works one way) gets to write and pass legislation that represents 100% of the majority group and what it wants and the group with 48% doesnt get a damn thing. not even 99/1. giving up that 1% represents a failure and weakness in his mind.
You win, you get everything and another thing he believes in is winning by hook or by crook. it doesnt matter if you have to lie, cheat, steal, smear, yell, whatever. as long as it gets you a win, the ends justify the means.
refuse to give a president his SC nominee? no problem. refuse a real fbi investigation and put a guy who you know is probably an attempted rapist on the court? its all good. conspire with the russians to break the law and put an admitted sexual predator in the white house? gonna get us some fat tax cuts.
no bar is too low. no lie is too big. no corruption refused.
i can see a small group of people probably mostly media guys, right wing hacks, radio hosts, including hannity rush and a few others, getting together and having strategy sessions and once decisions are made sending those instructions to congress and the white house and then all the russian bot drones who will regurgitate it.
man i hope mueller has some dirt on hannity somewhere. i have to think he does and its going to come out eventually.

(58,677 posts)in which nothing that doesn't have majority support among Repubs even gets to the floor for a general vote.
Basically means that the hard core minority of the Repub party controls all legislation.
