"Don’t blame the GOP voters."

And

"Regarding the passivity, it’s not the voters who are passive so much as the Republican leadership, starting at the top."

Isn't this a cognitive dissonance? At least some of the Republican leadership is elected, and they WILL win future elections.

You can't receive good Republican leadership if you reward them for betraying you.

I think this is a big time cognitive dissonance. Look at how many times Kentucky voters rewarded Mitch McConnell for attacking conservatives instead of spending more time attacking Democrats. We see this cognitive dissonance all over the country.

Republican Leadership is an oxymoron.
