    I know these guys are fairly shameless but how can they not be embarrassed to back out on deals they’ve agreed to. Getting kicked out of the position would be preferable to me than having to renege on something I spent a lot of time working on with other people.

      The hard liners are in deep red districts and maintain their position by making noise on twitter, not passing legislation. If they are loud and mad, they will get elected in their districts either way.

      The other point is that its actually better for these alt right assholes to be in the minority party, as they can drop the pretense of governing and just rage.

      So you have conflict between standard conservative shitbirds who want bad laws, “moderate” conservatives that can and will lose elections in purple districts, and MAGA assholes that want to start shit and make noise and give no shits about passing laws.
