Establishment Republicans gave Democrats a generous Christmas gift this year while at the same time stuffing conservatives’ stockings with coal in the passage of the omnibus spending bill.These Republicans obviously forgot that it was the hard work of grassroots conservatives that gave them the majority, winning the largest number of Congressional seats since the Civil War during the 2010 and 2014 midterm elections. Conservatives expected a little something in return. Nothing big, they just wanted them to keep their promises to stop (or at least stall) some of President Obama’s highly unpopular policies, not continue or increase them.
