No, I don't know who he is but the last paragraph explains much when it comes to the GOP.

"A large chunk of the most conservative members of the U.S. House of Representatives - including two from Alabama - revolted Thursday against a budget deal that narrowly cleared the chamber.

Sixty-seven Republicans cast "no" votes, complaining that the $1.1 trillion spending plan failed to take on President Barack Obama's executive action on immigration or make any attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act.

U.S. Rep. Bradley Byrne, R-Montrose, was not one of them.

It was just such an issue that divided the Republican electorate in the southwest Alabama's 1st Congressional District during last year's special election to fill the unexpired term of then-Rep. Jo Bonner. Byrne in the GOP primary runoff narrowly fended off a fierce bid from conservative activist Dean Young, who contended that his opponent would not be strong enough standing up to wasteful budget deal.

Young made clear that he would have no qualms about shutting down the government.

But Byrne cast the vote as "good news" for southwest Alabama because of funding for military ships at Mobile's Austal USA shipyard and measures to restrain domestic spending."

I can't distinguish the parties anymore. Both are the same now. I don't even know why bother to even vote, they just lie, and then do whatever they want.

"One of them (not sure who) said something to the effect "The repubs should nominate someone who really scares the democrats. Someone like Jeb Bush"

I believe that was Greg Gutfeld and I am not sure if he said it tongue in cheek. Beckel, of course, jumped on it like it was a plate of tasty doughnuts. Isn't it always special when someone who loathes everything you stand for gives you advice on how to improve your situation?

Slightly off topic, but . . .

Mark Levin always refers to FOX as "our favorite news channel." (I'm not sure sometimes if he's being sarcastic)

Anyway I used to be (before the '12 election) a pretty faithful viewer of FOX. Pretty much the entire lineup from 7-11. Now, not so much (except for The Five)

And even on The Five - today they were discussing the '16 election, and how the democrats were split - between the Left (Hilliary Xlinton wing) and the Far Left (Cochise Warren wing). Supposedly they are split more than the GOP.

One of them (not sure who) said something to the effect "The repubs should nominate someone who really scares the democrats. Someone like Jeb Bush"

I feel like screaming at this "What the !&(*&* would Jeb Bush do differently than Zero?

And I realized (though I think I've known it all along) these folks are just as bad as the partisan dems. It's not about competence; it's not about conservatism or smaller government or Constitutionality or anything like that.

It's about cheerleading your team. It's all about the "R". Nothing else.
