I can't say Kocher is wrong here.
A lot of this does lay at the hands of the soft elite of the Republican Party, the Bushes, the McCain’s, the “Republican leadership”.
They are either naive, or weak, or afraid to articulate uncomfortable realities about the American Left.
Their ineptness has left us as lambs being led to slaughter. Some of us saw this coming from a mile away, I personally have felt utterly helpless as I’ve watched these tactics unfold.
I see their punches coming from a mile away, I feel like the corner man of a washed up fighter, begging my aging charge to simply block with his left hand take a step to the right and come over the top with a right cross. The opening is there all fight, it will connect every time, he is unwilling and unable to pull the trigger. Infuriating.
