Back on topic, I think the GOPe would be just fine with this. I think they spurned Cruz, who had bucked them in the past for Trump, whom THEY THOUGHT WOULD LOSE TO HILLARY, which would continue the cushy status quo they had with Obama. Well, that didn't work, but for them, this might be the next best thing.
These are the people who lied to us all, not just the TEA party, when they said they just needed the House, the Senate, the White House... to do whatever, and we gave them that and now they still won't do it.
