THE GOP. THE WASHINGTON GENERALS OF POLITICS?
A reader asked me what was wrong with the GOP and why did the establishment wing of the GOP look and sound like Democrats?
This is the best analogy I can think of…
How many people "of a certain age" remember the Washington Generals, often the faux opposition to the greatest basketball exhibition team ever, the Harlem Globetrotters, and its outstanding "star player" Meadowlark Lemon.
"While the Globetrotters play tricks and spectacular displays of skill for the crowd, the Generals attempt to play a 'normal' game of basketball. The Generals' games involve playing genuine basketball at times, but also not interfering in the Globetrotters' tricks. Almost every game has ended in a resounding win for the Globetrotters. Despite their losses, the Generals' roster consists of relatively competent players."
So it seems with the GOP. With the progressive communist democrats running up the score, and the “loyal opposition” making suitable noises and pocketing their share of the gate.
We are so screwed.
