An op-ed in the New York Times on Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) this week, He’s One of a Dying Breed in Congress. America Needs Him Now More Than Ever, could not have been any more sycophantic.
The Times hasn't endorsed a Republican presidential candidate since Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956. That means they loved the likes of Hubert Humphrey, George McGovern, Jimmy Carter twice, Walter Mondale, Michael Dukakis, Al Gore, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden twice. But since Thomas Massie is a vocal critic of President Donald Trump, he's getting the kind of special treatment other anti-Trump Republicans from Marjorie Taylor Greene to George Conway to Mitt Romney have received.
But as for Massie's accomplishments? Well, in the political arena, none exist. The congressman never offers anything resembling solutions or alternatives outside of pie-in-the-sky generalities. He helped oust former Speaker Kevin McCarthy when a solid majority of House members approved of his performance, leaving Republicans scrambling for months.
