I understand our situation but I’d rather remain optimistic than hopeless.
I appreciate that. If we had a party fighting for us (and I mean really fighting) my views would be different. The DC cesspool has contaminated both parties unfortunately. I believe there is wide recognition of that.
I would also be more optimistic if the R’s would replace current leadership. I realize they “removed” Cheney (that took two rounds of voting amazingly) but McConnell and McCarthy (Paul Ryan’s puppet) are still there. The same weak “generals” who don’t play to win battles.
The R’s are coming out with a “Commitment to America” next week. I watched McCarthy talk about it on the Laura Ingrahm Show and he dodged her pointed questions. Even she got frustrated with him. As usual the purpose behind this 11th hour “pledge” is to generate more cash and votes. Bear in mind that here we are just a few weeks away from a pivotal election and few people have any idea what the GOP stands for.
One thing seems obvious to me: Republicans simply don’t want to lead and that is the problem. Trump leads, but the party is uncomfortable with him, at best.
