Tell me again, which side is in disarray?
By Jennifer Rubin

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...e-is-disarray/

Quote:
It’s a bit of a running gag among mainstream media critics that whatever the state of the Republican Party, the headline is always “Democrats in disarray!” One would have to be desperate or in the throes of false equivalence to look at the wreckage on the Republican side and conclude Biden is the one with difficulties. (The only rivalry on the Biden side of the race appears to come from ad-makers trying to outdo one another in scathing ads mocking the president.)

Don’t get me wrong. The race will tighten at the end; it usually does. But for now, it’s internecine warfare on the GOP side. Meanwhile, Trump’s ill-conceived “Sleepy Joe” insult has collapsed on a ramp at West Point (the president’s baby-stepping down the ramp is an image that may define his last year in office). One wonders where all the “Republicans in disarray!” headlines are.
This conservative commentator alone is worth the monthly price of admission to WaPo.

Donny’s sway over Lindsey Graham — and all Republicans — is weakening

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...74a_story.html

Quote:

GOP senators have tolerated Trump because they hoped he would boost their prospects. But a man at 38 percent in the polls is scant help to anyone. Indeed, Trump appears to be weighing down Republican candidates in North Carolina, Iowa, Montana, Maine, Kansas — even Texas. As things look now, Democrats need to win only half of those races, and maybe just a third, to capture the Senate.

Already, Republican senators flee on Capitol Hill when TV cameras approach. If cornered and asked about an outrageous tweet or a damning book, they act as if they’ve just been rescued from a desert island. Or they feign deafness. Or they’re just too darn busy to answer.

Bad tends to get worse in politics, and this is how it happens. The more desperately a drowning candidate needs a helping hand, the less eager people are to extend one, until the water finally takes its toll.

GOP House Candidate Insists George Floyd Killing Was Staged
LORD HELP US
Winnie Heartstrong has put out a 23-page document laying out a series of incoherent conspiracy theories about Floyd’s death. She’s likely to be the party’s nominee.

Trumpkins must LOVE her.

Tim Scott gives GOP colleagues a sampling of racism he faces

https://www.politico.com/news/2020/0...-police-336650

Quote:
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) tweeted that he was “shocked” to learn about the vile messages Scott received and said everyone has a responsibility to be kind when they disagree.
Like you're just now learning about vile racist diatribes, Chuck.

Rudy Giuliani says Black Lives Matter 'wants to come and take your house away from you' in unhinged Fox "News" rant
‘They want to take your property away from you, they want to let criminals out of prison – all criminals’

Sigh.

I'd venture to say he was "Shocked! Shocked!"

If you're going to stand out in a field of loonies you really gotta be exceptional. Methinks her "citizen investigators" are really her "imaginary friends".

I believe Rudy was recently described as "Barking mad". Maybe he needs to be tested for rabies.
