Theres been some reporting on Republicans clashing over a new proposed round of stimulus to address the coronavirus crisis.
As the New York Times reported, Senate Republicans and the White House have still been fighting among themselves over how much money to devote to testing and the federal health agencies on the front lines of the virus response, whether to include a payroll tax cut that Mr. Trump has demanded, and how to address the expiration of enhanced unemployment benefits at the end of the month.
During a private lunch, some Republicans reportedly balked at the prospect of doling out another trillion dollars in taxpayer fund and at one point Ted Cruz apparently asked, What in the hell are we doing?
Cruz reportedly argued that they should prioritize reporting the economy because if it failed to recover, Joe Biden would win in November.

That is the damn truth. The GOP of today was the shitkickers and rednecks of yesteryear.
