This morning Republicans awakened to a universe that spells trouble for them.
The presumed, bombastic front-runner for the nomination for president chalks up another historic notch on his large belt as the first former president to ever be indicted with 34 felony crimes alleged (and three more major investigations very likely to also hand down indictments on crimes far more serious than what was revealed yesterday).
Rep. Kevin McCarthy, the wannabe Speaker of the House who lives in the shadow of Marjorie Taylor Green, announced his party will pursue District Attorney Alvin Bragg over the indictment was an attempt by Bragg to stop the fake real estate mogul from running for the White House once more. Never mind that Trump didn’t announce he was again running for his former post until the end of November last year, while Bragg’s investigation into Trump’s crimes began five months earlier, in July 2022. So it was Trump who thought by running for president would provide some sort of immunity from the Bragg Grand Jury. As usual, Trump just doesn’t get how these things work.
Meanwhile in Wisconsin, in a rebuke to extreme Republican governance, voters overwhelming elected a liberal to the state Supreme Court. Conservatives will no longer control court decisions on issues ranging from abortion bans to voting restrictions.
As the Republicans have become more extreme, their so-called policy prescriptions for making American “great” again are scaring the hell out of us. The result has been a shrinking of the GOP base to something less than 30 percent. A party with a base that small cannot and will not win elections (although gerrymandering will benefit the party’s candidates in legislative elections for the next ten years).
While Trump might win the Republican nomination for president, he cannot and will not win re-election. In is “morning in America” again, but this time Republicans awakened to a landscape that is no longer fertile ground for them.
Brent, you’re right. I’m so glad we have Biden in office with record inflation. Negative real wage growth is excellent leadership.
I just want to know, when will Republicans stop bombing my phone with text message pleas for money using this as their reason?
I got six yesterday and three today, and good luck getting off whatever list they are using …
And who knows how bad it will get when Trump gets charged for the actual serious crimes he committed.
D.H.
Your ignorance on what causes inflation is amazing. Try to educate yourself a little more to understand that inflation has been impacted by things other than President Biden and is occurring worldwide. I know it was a valiant attempt at deflect…but you failed. Brent’s comments are based on facts, your deflection is based on opinion.
Biden and the left are just the best. They really have all the answers, and are setting the country on the right path.
I suppose the Biden family taking money from China and Ukraine is better than a paid off a porn star. While neither are ethical, most Americans would agree taking bribes and influence, while our sitting VP, is way way worse. Unreal……Time for new circus members. Both of these clowns need to retire.
Time for some moderation in this country. It’s certainly time to cool off the political rhetoric. Unfortunately, it won’t happen.
I’m not sure why folks want to continue to deflect on the topic at hand. This is about Trump….Donald Trump. It isn’t about Donald Trump’s family and everything that they did/have done/are doing with respect to padding their bank accounts through political influence. Let all of that come to light, if necessary. Because, as is the POINT of this article: No one is above the law and, based on a finding of a Grand Jury comprised of people like you and me, it has been determined that there may have been crimes committed.
The more significant reality associated with this is how the “leadership” of the Republican Party is responding. Badly. And that throws the entire party’s ethics and values into jeopardy.
No, what’s worse is letting the Saudi’s kill a journalist, dismember the body, and to give them cover for it … in exchange for a $2 billion dollar investment in your private equity fund just days after you return to the private sector. That kind of reset the scale right there.
What’s really annoying is that Democrats might be wrong, but they’re wrong within normal bounds. All the sane Republicans know what’s up and are leaving public life.
