s there any political organization in history that likes losing as much as the Republican Party?
Over the last several weeks, the saga of Neera Tanden has played out on the national stage. Joe Biden nominated the left-wing conspiracy theorist to head the Office of Management and Budget, one of the most powerful agencies in Washington (see Joe Biden Wants a Wild Conspiracy Theorist as OMB Head). For a time, her confirmation looked certain after the GOP lost both Senate run-offs in Georgia, but Joe Manchin (D-WV) blew that up recently by announcing he’d oppose her.
That’s left Democrats scrambling, but it’s also served as a very useful litmus test on the right as establishment flacks have rushed to her defense.
Neera Tanden is smart, experienced and qualified to lead OMB. I hope she's confirmed. We should always remember that there will be a Republican President in the future who will want to have his/her nominees confirmed.https://t.co/2P1amqcIa6

Can’t you just feel the principles permeate from that tweet? I mean, what’s more conservative than simping for someone who covered up sexual harassment, peddled fake Russia conspiracy theories, and once punched a staffer. It’s almost like Trump has completely broken these peoples’ brains to the point where they are unable to even keep the most basic tenants of what they once claimed to believe in.
I particularly love Flake’s reasoning that a future Republican president will want his nominees confirmed. That’s true. What’s also true is that a past Republican president wanted all his nominees confirmed without a political fight as well. Democrats instead turned every single appointment in a partisan food-fight, including accusing some of them of being Russian assets.

GOPe = controlled opposition
Hillary protested loud and clear for 4 years.
The repugnant party continues to shrink in my rear view mirror.
Biden’s picking angry losers...
Mitt and others will be glad to reach around
Having Jeff Flake judge anyone’s intelligence is like asking an eight year old who he thinks is really smart.
The poster boy for “good looking airhead from Scottsdale” is not who we need to tell us who should be in charge of trillions of dollars.
Looking for the answer that satisfies them, we know otherwise. they bulsh##ed us with the backing of the tea party and now this. They all need gitmo
Jeff Flake is garbage. GOP-E types like him need to leave and go form their own third-party.
Obama is how we got Trump.
Bidet may be how we get him again.
If not him, then someone along the same lines.
Wow, Flake must have some financial interest in this or they have dirt on him. What a traitor.
How ridiculous is it when a democrat shows republicans how to be republicans?
The Stupid Party indeed.
