QOTD: "In A Huge Hole"

 

On MS Now this morning, Jim VandeHei, founder of D.C. "insider" tout sheet Axios, describes the gloom inside the White House over the unhinged and flailing Malignant Fascist's self-inflicted wounds, which will bring their MAGAt party down in the coming mid-terms: 

“I think the biggest alarm for him and for Republicans is they look at the House map and it looks like almost impossible for them to keep control of the House. They look at the Senate and they start to look at states like Iowa, Ohio, Alaska, Texas, Maine, all of which should be very, very winnable, maybe not even competitive. And they all look suddenly in danger.

To me, the most interesting thing is talking to people around the president. Their language and body language has changed markedly in the last two months. They know they're in a huge hole and it's going to be really, really hard to get out of it. They don't even really defend it anymore. They understand that we're here by a series of choices that the president made by himself.

How to prosecute this war was his choice, to do tariffs; the way he did was his choice to unleash ICE into neighborhoods before ICE was properly trained to do it was his choice –– to then promote that in a very chest-thumping style. That was his choice and now Republicans are having to pay for that.” (our emphasis)

His sleepless nights spent rage tweeting are getting worse as his dementia and megalomania remains unchecked and untreated. They brought this on themselves willingly, so let them go down in the fire he set.
