"WRONG! Mor-tiny-toons-on-tv!"

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.

1/2 of The Beltway Boys - Fred Barnes the other 1/2
Something to be said for the guys in the early days of FNC.
One might not always agree with them but they were personable and polite. These days, not so much. Between egos and conquests, the entire lot of them leaves much to be desired.
Mort and personal opinions were seldom in sync, but he was
likeable and had a human quality. Those were the days; unlikely to return.
A fun show.
Watched on OBS 502 Friday afternoons.
The flip side of that demented coin, is some RINOs also fear that THEY will be on the "wrong side of history" and are codependent enablers, having drunk the Antifa Kook Aid.
Mort seems to be part of that crowd.
Mort, you’re dead to me.
“Morton Kondracke”
We’ve been played for decades by Bush League Republicans pretending to side with the citizens only to assist the Democrats at every turn.
It’s obvious that the GOP is taking the base for granted because Trump is going to GOTV for assistant Democrats in 2022. They never would be behaving this if Trump was busy creating the infrastructure of a third party.
Mort is still alive?
They might retain control, but if history is any guide the odds are against them.
Mort Kondrake is no Conservative. He’s an old school leftist socialist democrat. Also, I think this might be the dumbest article he’s ever written.
Sad. I thought Morton Kondracke was a real Conservative and American.
That’s what Fox is for. Keep the eyeballs attached however they need to. When you realize they are all just actors reading a script it won’t surprise you that they are mostly deep swamp liberals
MK is a leftist from way back. He was on Nixon’s ‘enemies list’.

The arguments he and Kruthammer made were quite refreshing at the time and were unavailable elsewhere. The higher-ups at the network were pretty smart to tap into those ideas.
MORT, you are an imbecile.
Mort you ignorant slut
Morton Kondracke is still alive?! Who would have thunk it.
I liked McLaughlin even more than Rush. I’m STILL sad about him dyin!
He went so quick. He was sick a couple weeks that I heard of. Did a voice over one week and the next week he was dead! BAM!
Truly a warm, funny man with a great Conservative bent.
