The MAGA Party: "Batshit crazy"

Salon:

....Matt Gaetz hates Democrats, unless he can use them to stick it to [Kevin]McCarthy, at which point he comes begging with his hat out. Gaetz hates Democrats, but he's doing everything he can to get them elected. 

That's what MAGA has done to the GOP. Republicans have become so focused on fighting each other that they are practically inviting Democrats to come help them rip the GOP apart.

The good news is Democrats certainly seem to have learned the lesson: not to interfere when your opponents are self-destructing. 

Granted, they were in a real win-win situation. Fishing McCarthy out of the pool of MAGA hate he's drowning in would have been a perfectly fine option. They could have extracted concessions, and in the process dialed up the amount of vitriol Republicans are flinging at each other. 

But the option they went with, to push McCarthy's head underwater, was perhaps an even stronger choice. 

House Minority Leader, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., repeatedly emphasized that it's not on Democrats to save Republicans from themselves....

Rob's comment: 

On second thought, "batshit" should be one word in this context.
