The GOP has two ways of getting around a legal or constitutional blockade. If they can't get a Russell Vought type into the White House, they will put a moron in his stead, and hope that they can do an end-run during the inevitable clean-up process.

Their latest budget proposals reveal where they think they are in this process. Massive deficits combined with whispers about cancelling Medicare and Social Security indicate some confidence that they can move their chess pieces to survive a two-term Democratic administration.
