The 2020 election demonstrated how fragile our democracy is. As Donald Trump tried, by means both legal and illegal, to overturn the results of a free and fair election, only the courts and a thin line of courageous Republican election officials guaranteed that the peoples’ choice prevailed. But the safeguards are weaker. Although the Supreme Court upheld the last lower-court dismissal of multiple Trump-inspired lawsuits charging election fraud, in July the court upheld new voting restrictions enacted in Arizona. And many of the Republican election officials who refused to back up Trump’s bogus fraud charges have been threatened, fired, or are being challenged for reelection by Trump followers. Meanwhile, 17 Republican-controlled state legislatures have joined Arizona in making voting more difficult: In several of them, legislators are trying to seize control of election management, including power to replace county election officials or even decide how a state’s election results should be certified, regardless of the popular vote.

Another swamp creature shows its gills.
That network even got me to like A.B. Stoddard whose painful look suggested the left was too far out there.
These people are very smart and law degrees are very useful in these endeavors.
We must not forget that Mort is actually a loser.
He lost his job and pulpit when his magazine failed. Mort is a failure
Didn’t know he was still alive.
I'd rather eat a Morton frozen TV dinner than watch Kondracke.
more-TAHN has always been a clown. John McLaughlin knew it.
He and Krauthammer were...
“More Tone.” “More Tony Bennett, less Tony Martin.” I miss John McLaughlin.
No persuasive evidence cited, not a very good "journalist".
the results of a free and fair election .............. Nuff said. They would say that even if 350M ballots were found for Biden.
Trump cleaved the GOP at the Free Traitor fault line.
Maybe in time, maybe not.
Mort was the Democrat to Fred Barnes Republican . They were a team in the early FOX days . He was never a conservative.
Kondracke was never a Republican. He has always been a Democrat.
Yep, draining swamps tend to reveal car wrecks/missing persons/hidden swamp creatures.
I always got the Impression John McLaughli was saying “buy buy” as in buy stocks.
What can we do now that we are more aware of them? Starts with the Calif. recall. Kondracke’s will play both sides if the GOP smells blood.
Then there’s the 2022 primaries. Braun(Ind.) is hurtin’ for a squirtin’. Then there’s the entrenched red state senators who need a serious challenger so that the Bill Cassidy’s don’t have 6 years off freedom to do as they please.
We’ll see who steps forward. I don’t think too many will except eccentric/vanity types.
The rats could easily steal senate seats in Wi.,Penn., Ga., and Az. to expand their majority. It was done in ‘20.
