For a few political cycles now, Republican leaders have strained to distance themselves from some in their midst and focus on the basics to secure and extend their power in Washington: The less-than-sweeping economic recovery and President Obama’s foundering, as they see it, at home and abroad.

‘......Republican leaders have strained to distance themselves from some in their midst ......’
Notice how no one ever expects or calls for the Democrats to distance themselves from the Bat Shit crazies that are the norm in the Democrat Party. But a legitimate call for the impeachment of a lawless POTUS and Republicans stream for the Mia Culpa!
Medved was slamming Sarah yet again today.
