   The Republican Party is incapable of governing.   
      
   It should now be clear to everyone: The Republican Party is incapable of   
   governing.   
      
   Sure, this sounds partisan. In fact, it’s an analytical reflection based   
   on what is happening right before our eyes.   
      
   You would think that with our nation facing its most profound economic   
   crisis since the 1930s, married to a public health disaster and growing   
   unrest over racial injustice, the party that controls the White House   
   and the U.S. Senate would get serious.   
      
   Instead, the Senate’s Republican majority and the Trump White House are   
   in chaos, unable to produce a coherent relief bill to keep the economy   
   from spiraling further downward.   
      
   Republicans admit this.   
      
   “It’s a mess,” said Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) of the party’s own   
   ramshackle proposal. “I can’t figure out what this bill’s about.”   
      
   A telltale sign of the Republicans’ flight from responsibility is that   
   they waited until the last minute before launching their haphazard   
   scramble because they were hoping to avoid having to do anything.   
      
   The Democratic House passed a $3 trillion relief bill on May 15. Did   
   Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) spend the intervening 10   
   weeks pulling his troops together for the inevitable counterproposal?   
   No. Republicans offered pipe dreams that maybe covid-19 would abate,   
   maybe the economy would come roaring back on its own . . . maybe, maybe,   
   maybe.
