Why am I not surprised?

Some Republicans, however, have drawn the line at pardons for the attackers.

Some republicans. Some. Let that sink in...

Hmm, that doesn't sound logical to me. They don't need to create a conflict, it's already there. And has been for decades, if not centuries.

If they would "own" (I think that's the current American word for it) the Republicans, they could finally get things done, which would probably be good for popularity.

Popularity has never been the goal.

This one particular line of @Farhad's statement above is, though...

...the DNC that gets significantly higher donations when they are in minority...

$$$... $$$.... $$$... it's always about the $$$.
