No, I don't mean that metaphorically; I mean that quite literally.Ex-RNC head drops the hammer on 'crazy as hell' Marjorie Taylor Greene in MSNBC tirade https://t.co/6UYyfw4qG0

As Molly Ivins liked to say: it's a representative government. And to former Speaker Boehner: you not only bought the ticket, you built this ride. Enjoy."I was talking with a number of fundraisers this week who were talking about that small-donor program that they have in place and it is very effective and it is the extremes that are raising the money," [fomrer RNC Chair Michael] Steele recalled. "You know, the Adam Kinzingers and folks like that, they're doing okay, you know, but they're not raising $3 million in 30 days -- that's the difference."
"And so, to Soledad O'Brien's point, that's where the culture wars come in," he continued. "That's the culture fight being played out and realized in the dollars that are raised. Understand this: this is all very cynical. At the end of the day, they don't give a rat's patootie about these issues. Marjorie Taylor Greene is just a jacked-up congresswoman-wannabe who is as crazy as hell but can raise $3 million. Whereas common sense, focused, disciplined sort of 'I want to try to govern the country' type of Republicanism is trying to eke along a dollar at a time. So that kind of tells you where the dollar fight is and the Trumpists are winning."
