Charles Hurt: Republican Establishment Playing to Lose, Failing to Learn from Past

Charles Hurt 19 Nov 2021

DENVER — Republicans in Washington are positively giddy over all the new polls showing President Biden tanking the Democratic Party ahead of next year’s midterms. Indeed, Mr. Biden is making history.

For a guy who got elected on a single pledge to not send Mean Tweets, Mr. Biden has managed to burn through an astonishing reserve of goodwill in a very short period of time.
All he had to do? Be nice. And don’t touch anything.

After 50 years in Washington, the guy was at the very least a known quantity. Sure, people rolled their eyes when he strolled into a room. They plugged their ears when he droned on and on. They smacked him gently away when he groped children and sniffed your hair. Everyone, of course, knew he made up stories.

But, still, people didn’t really hate Joe Biden. He was old, White, and harmless, which is the whole reason President Barack Obama picked him to be his vice president in the first place.

Yet, somehow, bumbling Joe Biden has managed to become the most unpopular president since the invention of the telephone. And that’s even as the media is still protecting him!

Joe Biden has screwed things up so bad that somebody had to come out with a new bumper sticker. “Mean Tweets 2024.” At this point, Mean Tweets would win.

And you think a 36% approval rating is bad? You just wait until people find out about what his children are up to. Anybody who says that number cannot get any worse, just watch.

Naturally, Republicans in Washington are buoyant over their prospects for next November, especially considering the narrowest of margins by which Democrats control both chambers of Congress. Republicans are sure to win the House and are on track to win the Senate despite facing one of the worst electoral maps in a decade.

It is entirely possible that given the much easier map of seats that are up in the election after 2022, Republicans could be looking at a near super-majority in the Senate by 2024.

And Mean Tweets in the White House.

But there is troubling news — at least for Republican voters.

Republican Establishment Playing to Lose, Failing to Learn from Past

Well, what makes that news Charles?

[Fishrrman]

For the "Republican Establishment", playing to lose has been refined into what is (for them) a winning strategy.

Their goal is "to lose". That is, to never fully hold power (which they would then become responsible for using wisely and effectively). The sight of a Republican actually willing to fight and win scares them inconsolably. That's why they were unwilling to really help Mr. Trump during his first two years in office.

As "losers" they can play the facade of being "the opposition", when their aim is really "to oppose" next-to-nothing at all. Yet still get cocktail party invites.

Addendum:
Once in a while, they will find enough fortitude to fight back. I'm thinking of things like the Garland nomination, and later pushing through the Coney Barrett nomination.

But these instances seem to few and far between.
What was the order Adm. Halsey gave?
"Attack. Repeat, attack!"
