If you heard that a news organization had performed an instant political microanalysis of the effect that the Thursday bombings near Kabul airport would have on the midterm elections over a year away, you could be forgiven if you thought the report was from the Babylon Bee. However, in this case the report was all too real and it originated in Politico barely an hour after a news alert announced the bombings.
In that brief time, Politico writers Olivia Beavers and Andrew Desiderio revealed an absurdly constricted field of vision by focusing on the effect of the explosions on the midterm elections while castigating Republicans in "GOP faces hurdles in push to make Afghanistan matter in the midterms." The Kabul bombings were incorporated into the subtitle, "Thursday's bombings in Kabul come as Republicans push to turn the crisis into an albatross for the president. Yet several factors threaten to undermine that effort."

... and on how it will be bad for the GOP.
Does anyone really read Politico to learn anything?
It will be fixed, it is in the process of being fixed, and thus Polutico will be absolutely wrong.
2020 was 'fixed' so I presume you mean 2022! As for Politico, well that is Axel Springer's new toy! Queue the Great Reset!
Pollutico was just sold to Germans. They can’t do any worse than the current morons in charge of it.
The Leftist MSM has sounded the alarm, “All hand on deck, commence operation Turd Polishing”
Our soldiers being killed and this is what they think of.
Pure Evil.
I’m not very astute politically, but even I know this article is biased.
Want to bet on the outcome of 2022.
So far, every fearper doom and gloomer that I’ve offered to bet has run and tucked their tail.
So are you game?
This kind of stupidity should hurt…A lot!!!
Pushing a theory rather than listening to the audience. Typical behavior.
Straight from Comedy Central.
“Politico writers Olivia Beavers and Andrew Desiderio”
These two are obviously political stooges. Love thy enemies, but remember their names.
Well then, Republicans should follow whatever advice the fine folks at Politico give them.
Do I really need a /sarc?
Does anybody actually take Politico or The sHill seriously? Anybody?
Unless there is a wave of primary ousters, they may not be wrong.
I have little reason to want to re-elect Assistant Democrats.
“Pollutico was just sold to Germans. They can’t do any worse than the current morons in charge of it.”
That’s surprising. It will sell for $1B.

Kabul is important.
ELECTION FRAUD IS IMPORTANT.
We need to keep focused on THAT.
If it isn’t fixed, mid-terms in 2022 and General Election in 2024 will be stolen AGAIN.
