Why do Dems love the Pubs after they retire?

They love them some GW Bush too

"Liberal hack piece."

It's written by John Boehner, the former GOP Speaker of the House. Not exactly a raging liberal. He was a GOP rep for 14 years, in fact.

Sorry if his opinion on the current GOP offends your sensibilities, but the current state of the GOP offends a lot of us who used to be center-to-center-right and think the party has completely lost its everflipping mind.

The fact that you can't even hear him tells should provide some clue how far out there a lot of you have gotten, in fact, and why the GOP will continue to lose elections and alienating, well, everyone else until it starts coming back to center again.

Quo

These reactionaries refuse to buy the fact that their perception of the political landscape is distorted because they are so far out on the edge of it.

They actually think that THEY are just right of center and that everyone else has moved to the left - even John Boehner.

Well, I'm in the same tribe as SE Cupp. I actually listen to her a lot these days; she's actually one of the only things I can actually stomach at CNN. Former fiscal firebrand-turned-sorta-Woke-turned-sorta-kinda-uneasily-allied-to-the-Dems-wish-I-wasn't-but-what-the-eff-choice-do-I-have?

I mean, the gal is never gonna be a liberal. Neither will I. She wrote a book about ten years back called Losing Our Religion: The Liberal Media's Attack on Christianity, if that gives you an idea where her roots were; she came off Fox and was a regular on Greg Gutfield. She still has very sharp things to say about Dem spending, and a lot of Joe's policies. And she was a lot more than the usual leggy blonde bombshell with zero-prescription nerd rims Roger Ailes made famous for typecasting at Fox News; Cupp's got a BA from Cornell and a MA from NYU. Sharp, sharp, lady.

And this was what she had to say yesterday about the GOP. It's very hard to argue.

That's the open mind that we all know and love.

It’s a good read…

But, am I missing something or does he end by saying something happened and not saying what it was?

It did end rather abruptly.***

Apparently it is just an excerpt from an upcoming memoir.

You wanna know what he says, buy the book.
