The Republican Party is pretty much lost as to leadership, strategy and a campaign platform. The Trump saga is far from over with all the legal battles ahead. The other GOP presidential hopefuls, DeSantis, Haley, Pence, etc. have virtually no chance at this point. Add to that disorganized picture the fact that the GOP has picked the minority side of the abortion, gun law, climate change and other issues that are certain to cost them votes. And now for the strategy–the overall plan of attack. Two small observations are made in the past weeks: (1) The super majority of Republicans in the Kentucky legislature are openly criticizing the Democratic Governor of Kentucky, Andy Beshear, for his failure to lead the fight for gun laws. Why is this a farce? This same GOP group has introduced House Bill 138 which would allow 18 year olds the right to carry guns into high school classrooms. They are so adamant that they vow to override any Beshear veto if invoked. Add to that many Kentucky GOPers have been on the National Rifle Association’s donor list for campaign funds for years. These are the same folks who now complain that the Democratic Governor is lax on gun law leadership. Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul–two US Senators have received almost $1.4 million from the NRA. (2) The second observation is the recent proclamation by the Republican National Committee that GOP candidates need to get out front on the issue of abortion. The problem is, of course, that the candidates don’t want to bring up a minority position and risk being booed. They can’t take a position because there is NO consistent standard for what abortion should or could be tolerated. With only 15% to 20% of the nation supporting an abortion ban it is highly unlikely that a GOP hopeful can say anything without opening a can of worms. AND SO YOU HAVE A NEW AND CONFUSING STRATEGY EMERGE. BLAME THE OTHER GUY AND HOPE ENOUGH IDIOTS FOLLOW YOUR LEAD. IT WORKED FOR TRUMP AND MANY OF THE GOP MEMBERS OF CONGRESS–UP TO THE PRESENT. BUT WE STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT 2024 WILL BE A DIFFERENT SCENE. THE RED WAVE IN 2024 WILL BE A GOP BLOODBATH AND THEY WILL HAVE ONLY THEMSELVES TO BLAME. THEIR RABBIT HOLE GETS DEEPER EVERY DAY AS THEY GLEEFULLY KEEP DIGGING.
