Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX) said Speaker Kevin McCarthy's (R-CA) hold on power in the House will be imperiled if he does not grant the demands of hard-right Republicans in the chamber ahead of a potential government shutdown.
Totally agree, and yet once Trump is finally dead and gone, roughly 1/2 of the voters in this country will shockingly be willing to give the next leader of the GOP another shot at driving us into the ground. Even many of those who admit to hating Trump, somehow are willing to clean the slate with some other future Republican candidate.
That’s one of the most infuriating things that I have seen over the years.
It doesn’t matter how badly one Republican politician screws up. It doesn’t matter how many times it happens or how many others are involved and helped along the way, the party as a whole never gets tainted by their corruption and incompetence. This is the single biggest failure of the Democratic party that they can’t taint the corruption of Trump onto ALL other Republicans. They couldn’t do that with George W a generation ago. They couldn’t do that with Reagan some 40 years ago, and they couldn’t do that with Nixon some 60 years ago.
On the flip side, if Pelosi did one stupid gaffe, every Democrat since the beginning of time would be painted with the same wide brush. Most elected Dems are fairly moderate, and yet you have one left-wing Democrat saying some rather extreme stuff and somehow the entire DNC is labeled as being socialist or communist or some other extreme position that is simply not true. A long time ago, Republicans poisoned the well that is the term “liberal” so these days all a Republican needs to do is say that one word and his Democratic opponent will lose votes no matter how moderate that person might be.
What is annoying as all hell is that Democrats like to portray themselves as the younger, hip party and young people love to pretend that they are savvy when it comes to marketing. So if they are so savvy with marketing, then why the hell is Democratic branding so damn bad?? Why are moderates and liberals so clueless when it comes to connecting with voters? That’s all part of being a savvy brand. And yet the old and stodgy GOP outmaneuvers them constantly when it comes to image.
Harder? Maybe, but definitely not impossible. Not even close. There are a lot of smart people that have fallen for this clown. That’s what charisma and propaganda and one’s environment can do to someone. It is powerful and scary stuff.
Democrats like to portray the Party as progressive, but progressivism is really just window dressing for the Democratic party. They like that progressive ideas get them followers, and sometimes a few progressives get elected (often opposed by their own party), but in general the party is Center Right with some moderate trappings.
Which is why it is so ineffective. This is by design.
Republicans don’t really want a functioning government. They just want something they can control.
Yea it’s called fascism

Really sad the GOP has the better “Brand” when in reality they’re just Nazi’s
Because it’s full of salesmen
Nah it’s because always their movement is top down, and the left’s is bottom up.
That’s exactly it. Their Branding is impeccable.

It’s harder to market to smart people than dumb people
I don’t know. If the people are smart then they would know who to vote for right?
