Every once in a while you stumble into a news cycle and think, “This cannot be a coincidence.”
As news reports bring word that Hillary Clinton is still refusing to answer questions from the press, Ramadi falls to ISIS, and things just aren’t going well for the Democrats right now, fear not. The press steps in with its usual “The GOP is doomed” headlines.
We begin on May 16th with the Washington Post. The GOP has such a big field of candidates, party leaders are “anxious about their chances in ’16.” That’s the actual title. It seems having such a deep field is a bad thing, unlike last time when having such a shallow field was a bad thing.
If only the GOP would coronate one candidate, just like the Democrats.
Keeping up the theme, the New York Times on the same day, claimed the GOP was baiting the left to turn on Hillary. The Democrats, you see, are so united for Hillary that the GOP is forced to spend money to try to drum up a primary for Hillary Clinton.
Slate rushed in with some back patting for the Democrats. Turns out ISIS’s leader is just like a Republican candidate for President. Fear not Democrats, they’re all just an easily beaten fringe.
The Atlantic chimed in yesterday that if you watch Fox News, you are stupid, dumb, and incapable of grasping reality. Fear not Democrats, the Republicans are so deluded that there is no way they can win.
And today the Politico gets in on the game. Yes, “the GOP is dying off. Literally.” That’s their headline.
The GOP will not pick up millennials, it is the party of old people, and it is just so outdated.
So fear not Democrats. The media has you covered. The GOP will never win again because it is closed minded, only watches Fox, is fringey like ISIS, is dying off, has too many candidates for President, and is only pretending to give Hillary a hard time.
Hey, perhaps the corollary here is that the press has convinced the Democrats they have nothing to fear and the coronation of an old corrupt lady from New York for President who won’t answer questions is brilliant strategy.
No, it just has to be a coincidence that on the same weekend five major media outlets run the same basic talking points against the GOP.
2012 - White Males 18-29 - Romney 55% - Obama 41%
2012 - White Females 18-29 - Romney 49% - Obama 48%
Looks like they are voting for HERESY to me!
It’s all in the timing...
That is an absolute irresponsible statement! THE LAST THING THE GOP WANTS TO SEE IS CRUZ WINNING!
There is a HUGE difference between “whining” and being “realistic.”
Apparently you have been living in a hole somewhere and missed the past elections where the candidate the PEOPLE wanted was rejected by the establishment Republicans and we lost the election to radical Democrats.
No, I think we have all been “sold down the river” by establishment Republicans. Clear evidence of that is who are the Republican leaders in the House and Senate? The mainstream Republican voter voted republican to remove them from power....not to give it back to them.....which the establishment did.
Cruz is an “upstart” that the establishment cannot tolerate and will crush in any way they can. He poses a danger to their hold on power and there is no room for those in the party who do not cave in to the whims of the lifers there.
They are doing everything they can to destroy this “pest” before he can gain enough power to actually change the direction of the party...and consequently, their secure and corrupt futures.
Cruz is a rebel, pure and true and they don’t like it!
