Time to Punt Thom Tillis
Kurt Schlichter
Perhaps we could breed Senator Thom Tillis (alleged R-NC) with Senator Mazie Hirono (D-uh) to produce a senatorial super-moron, a legislator so unbelievably stupid that it needs a constant reminder to breathe. But, upon reflection, Frankenstein-like experiments to create the ultimate moron might be amusing, but what we really need to do now is get rid of Thom Tillis. He needs to go. He needs to be gone. Republicans need to stop screwing around with pols like him. North Carolina Republicans, primary this jerk.
President Trump has to be nice and polite with this guy, at least for now, but I don’t. This guy is a loser, and he needs to get lost. He’s also, according to those who have paid attention to him, a bad person, but I don’t know if that’s true. He must be 86’d because he’s dumb, not because he’s a Machiavellian supervillain – he’s less Ernst Stavo Blofeld than Earnest P. Worrell-Blowhard.
Now, dumping a Republican incumbent is not my preferred outcome. My preferred outcome is that he does what his voters want, as opposed to what his rich friends out at the country club want, and then he gets reelected, barely, as he always does. But this is a guy with delusions of mediocrity, a ridiculous Tar Heel toff who somehow imagines himself as a statesman rather than a soldier in an army marching forward together to Make America Great Again. He really thinks that his thoughts are important. He really thinks that his ideas are significant. He really thinks he can make a difference, which he can, but only in the worst possible way.
