I don't doubt the findings of a Washington Post/ABC News poll showing Republicans having the widest margin of advantage over Democrats in a generic poll concerning how respondents would vote re: their districts' House candidates.
Not surprising at all. Democrats are increasingly recognized as the party of wealth redistribution, climate alarmism and wokeness. And there are even more than a few progressives who are put out with the administration for being completely inept at seeing through its leftist aims. Mediocrity and incompetence characterize the way it operates. Voters know it.
It's a garbage party.
Just like the Republicans.
The Republicans enable their most drool-besotted leg-humpers, yay-hoos and cowards while throwing actual conservatives under the bus.
I wondered what might be going on within the Wyoming party when I came across this:
The Wyoming Republican Party will no longer recognize Liz Cheney as a member of the GOP in its second formal rebuke for her criticism of former President Donald Trump.
The 31-29 vote Saturday in Buffalo, Wyoming, by the state party central committee followed votes by local GOP officials in about one-third of Wyoming's 23 counties to no longer recognize Cheney as a Republican.
In February, the Wyoming GOP central committee voted overwhelmingly to censure Cheney, Wyoming's lone U.S. representative, for voting to impeach Trump for his role in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
That's because the GOP remains a cult in thrall to the Very Stable Genius over a year after his defeat at the polls. Republicans are fine with Trump justifying his humiliation of Mike Pence with a double-down on the delusion he appears to still really believe:
Karl interjects to point out rioters who could be heard chanting to "hang Mike Pence."
"Because you heard those chants — that was terrible. I mean—" Karl says.
Trump responds, saying, "He could have — well, the people were very angry."
"They were saying 'hang Mike Pence,’ " Karl says.
"Because it's common sense, Jon,” Trump interjects. “It's common sense that you're supposed to protect. How can you — if you know a vote is fraudulent, right? — how can you pass on a fraudulent vote to Congress?”
And with regard to Trump and the current tensions between Serbia and Kosovo, a question arises. Does he really believe he still has some kind of official foreign policy authority, or is he well aware that Grenell's visit was just that of a private citizen with no portfolio?
Donald Trump has been ridiculed for claiming his “envoy ambassador” Ric Grenell is helping to defuse tensions between Serbia and Kosovo.
Mr Trump released a statement on Thursday to say Mr Grenell, a former ambassador to Germany, had visited the border between the two countries on his behalf.
“The agreements my administration brokered are historic and should not be abandoned, many lives are at stake,” the statement said.
Either way, it doesn't bode well for the VSG's throne-sniffers. He's either the ultimate cynic, playing them for fools, or he's living in an alternate reality.
Yes, Republicans stand to do well next year. But count me unimpressed.
State-and county-wide Republican parties can point to some sane, grownup office-holder, candidates and Precinct Committeemen in their ranks, but the stench of Trumpism permeates all its levels.
What's a non-Trumpist and also decidedly non-progressive citizen to do? Band together with the like-minded. We are not alone, we are not marginal. And we will not settle for some kind of flimsy populism just to keep a brand, however distinguished its history going back to 1854, from going off the cliff.
It's time for something new.
