America’s Problem Is Still the GOP
By Brandon J. Weichert| September 25th, 2018
There are times I forget the Republican Party won the 2016 election. The reason is simple: because most of the establishment GOP continues the loveable loser act. The Republicans appear to be appealing to some invisible referee who will wade into the great debate between those on the American Right and those on the Satanic Left and adjudicate the arguments fairly.
Sorry, there is no referee. There never was. Besides, if one were to be appointed, then that referee most assuredly would be a leftist (most “experts†are these days). President Trump was not wrong when he cautioned his supporters in 2016 about the rigged nature of the present political system in the United States. It was by sheer force of Trump’s persuasive personality, and the need for a human wrecking ball like Trump among the electorate, that such a rigged political system did not elevate the unworthy Hillary Clinton to the presidency.
What the Republicans face today is more of a free-for-all WWE style wrestling match for power between themselves and the Democrats—one in which hair-pulling, lying, and a handful of other uncouth actions are not only necessary, but encouraged. Thus, the rules of reality TV are more apt than those of the old Oxford Debating Society. But, the Republicans have not sent their best fighters to the field. Instead, they have deployed the pampered princes of the decadent Emerald City. These “leaders†neither understand their supporters’ desire to win nor do they grasp the nature of the match. This lack of understanding has created friction within the ranks of the GOP, as it faces off against a united—and radicalized—Leftist foe.
Just look at this absurd tweet from Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), the head of the Senate Judiciary Committee now overseeing the confirmation battle for Judge Brett Kavanaugh:

With all the extensions we give Dr Ford to decide if she still wants to testify to the Senate I feel like I’m playing 2nd trombone in the judiciary orchestra and Schumer is the conductor
