GOP quietly conceding that they have nothing to sell to the public policy wise.

[Hindsight was 2020]

Do they not realize that the suburban areas that they need to defend in 2018 to keep the house this will not work/could worsen the trend toward dem?

[Since I'm the mad scientist proclaimed by myself]

At this point, the Republicans deserve to become a permanent minority party. With every day they find a new way to damage American institutions for petty gain.

This is exactly what we're seeing on this very forum from right wingers:

"NothingBurger!  Nothingburger! NOTHINGBURGER!!!"

"Fake News! Fake News! Fake NEWS!!!"

"Media Bias! Media Bias! MEDIA BIAS!!!!"

Not much surprise seeing it go national.

The effects of this will be very interesting to see.

Do Trump supporters forget that the mainstream media were the ones propping him up in the first place? If Trump didn't have the media coverage he did he'd be as big of a flop as Ben Carson.

Yes, he had tremendous media coverage, folks. Believe me.

This is, perhaps more than anything else the GOP has done of late, playing with fire

I suppose this was inevitable. The decision makers are only concerned about winning, and any operatives or politicians who actually care won't speak up anyway.

So, by all means, continue destroying the credibility of the institutions that sustain this country.

Common sense dictates that this stuff should backfire after two years.  With Americans, you can never be too sure.

This seems like a dramatic misinterpretation of why Gianforte won in MT

Are they really just gonna start #bodyslamming the media come 2018? That's quite the strategy.

You have majorities in both houses of Congress.

You have the White House.

You control 32 state legislatures.

You have 33 governorships. Your opposition has half that.

Despite all of this, you can't get anything done.

Do you own up to your incompetence and try to get your sh**t together?

Of course not! It's the media's fault you don't know how to govern.
