"Conservatives" are phonies and complete idiots.
Nah. What you have witnessed is a power play in the US Senate and White House. If Trump can't get the GOP to get things done, he will go to the Democrats, give them what they want in exchange for what he wants and shame the GOP into action.
Especially on issues like hurricane relief funding, the GOP will look like crap if they resist, so all the dems need to do is tie their pet agenda issues to "must-pass" legislation and make entreaties to Trump to make a deal.
If the GOP puts up a fight, the optics will be that they oppose the 'Must Pass" part of the bill, with no mention of any riders found to be unacceptable, because between twitter and the MSM, you'd have to read the bill to know about that stuff, and fewer than 1% of Americans will read it, and articles that point it out will be suppressed or marginalized. And when the crap that the Dems want goes into effect, the GOP will own it.
Oh, and there aren't many in the Congress I'd accuse of being Conservatives. There are some right leaning 'moderates', but not enough Conservatives to fill a school bus.
