“Close” Only Counts In Horseshoes And Hand Grenades

This still likely won’t get him to 218, per several GOP sources. But it will close the gap

Me, trying to figure out how the media doesn't understand that 200+ Republican House members supporting Trump's pick for speaker is greater than 20 who don't. Listen, I studied English and Political Science. Math wasn't my strong suit either, but 200 > 20 isn't advanced calculus. pic.twitter.com/cOxI0eRAp8

Although the latter does raise the question: if Trump can’t control 20 House members, how is he in control of the GOP? And if the GOP can’t control 20 House Members, is there a GOP at all?
