I think the bottom line is that Frederick just hasn’t inspired anyone to believe he was up to the task.
He got flak for repeating one of Rush’s jokes (fine for Rush, not the party leader), he got caught up in a mistweet over a supposed power sharing deal that never took place (and likely wasn’t going to take place), he kinda looked foolish making an anti-Darwin speech on the House floor. There are other concerns that I don’t have the details of. Supposely there’s a list.
My biggest concern is not Frederick, but how this whole process makes the party look...again...
Thanks for the info. Who’s heading up the cabal to take him down? Does anyone else with ‘gravitas’ want the job? The GOP is such a bunch of cannibals.
