How did it get this way? Who is pulling the strings? Have the Republicans always been this suicidal a party or did they just use to be constitution abiding conservatives?
The short version is the Republican party is now ran by Trump who is, frankly, an idiot. Trump single-handedly killed the bipartisan Ukraine/Border deal because it would make Biden look good. Biden relented and gave Republicans a win-win deal, and Trump was too blinded by Biden getting positive press to allow the deal that would get Republicans good press and something they have been pushing for for decades.
