And then we have the Congress we elected in 2010, the worst Congress in the history of the Republic. Watching these people bedevil their leadership, and confound the pundits into the bargain, is to watch people who believe themselves to have been uniquely blessed in their purpose. A great piece of the Republican party establishment went to the bank believing that most of these people didn't really believe what they were saying, that they could be allowed to spread preposterous lies about (especially) the Affordable Care Act, because that's was a way for the Republicans to gain a House majority, which would then do what the Republican establishment -- whatever that is any more -- told it to do. I'm not entirely sure people like John Boehner had any idea that these people who do what they said they would do.
