I keep hearing and reading that the GOP is scared that Trump’s racist post will probably cost them the midterm elections. What kind of magical thinking is that? Have folks really not been paying attention the last 10 years? #poltiics
@WarnerCrocker Republicans have no chance at winning this year. It's not happening.

@WarnerCrocker

The conservative elite are terrified of—and despise—their reactionary base.

So they equivocate and talk out both sides of their mouth.

It’s a survival strategy based on loss aversion.

@NicksWorld @WarnerCrocker I don't think it will cost them the mid-terms, Republicans and one half of the country are too far gone to be able to just not listen to Trumps' cultish speeches, but the fact that someRepublicans did actually condemn the post is a good thing.
@LeonianUniverse @WarnerCrocker Yeah, it is a good thing, but republicans are also not stopping Trump in congress. Actually, that's not entirely true, they today stopped Trump from continuing to gut the department of education.
@NicksWorld @WarnerCrocker Well, that's good at least.
