“The word panic did not refer to the preplanned coordinated attack on Trump by the Republicans.”
The headline was “Will Paul Ryan’s panic attack hurt down-ballot Republicans?”. I stand by my statement that the headline is in itself a lie.
The down ballot Republicans should be panicked. If their party had been willing to acquiesce to the will of their voters and get behind Trump’s movement the entire party would now be preparing for a stunning victory in a few weeks.
“I stand by my statement that the headline is in itself a lie.”
I interpreted the headline as saying Ryan and the people behind this were trying to get the down ticket Republicans to panic.
Ryan and the others were trying to create panic.
