@MZHemingway joins to expose the sheer delusion of Senate Republicans. Mike Johnson stepped down after an epic disaster, but the Senate GOP is rallying behind John Thune to keep driving the bus off the cliff. Rewarding failure is why voters despise the Republican establishment.

Stop overanalyzing exit polls looking for hidden nuance. Republicans bought into neocon fantasies in the Middle East, gas prices went through the roof, and voters obliterated them for it. It really is that simple.

The single fastest way to give Iran a nuclear weapon was letting neocons drag the country into another pointless conflict. It spiked gas prices, destroyed the Republican majority, and handed total control back to the Left. Despots know survival requires a warhead, and Washington just cleared the path for them.

There is no Barack Obama without the Iraq War. George W. Bush started a catastrophic foreign conflict, wrecked his party's majority, and handed Washington to the Left. Twenty years later, the exact same clowns are running the exact same playbook.

Turns out if you spend an entire campaign promising you won't get dragged into another stupid war, people actually expect you to keep your word. The experts swore there was zero downside. Losing an entire generation is a pretty massive downside.

@seanmdav HAMMERS Mark Levin, Marc Thiessen, & Ben Shapiro on the war in Iran:

"...the loss of a generational opportunity to restore the country, because a bunch of people who were wrong about everything their entire lives were able to convince Trump this would be easy."

You can always tell when Senate Republicans are getting ready to kill a wildly popular bill. The second voter ID showed up, they suddenly started crying about parliamentarians and Senate procedure. They had the votes. They just didn't want to deliver.

Senate leadership ran the exact same scam on the SAVE Act that they ran on Obamacare in 2017. They begged for total power, hid behind parliamentarians the second they got it, and handed Democrats an incoming 56-seat majority.

The establishment loves the minority because nobody expects them to pass a single reform. They traded a historic mandate for early flights home and zero accountability.
