National Review senior writer Charles C.W. Cooke wrote a biting new column published Wednesday 04 Sep 24:
“Frankly, I have seen nothing from the rah-rah-rah wing of the GOP in recent years that suggests that it minds one way or the other if the party wins, loses, ties, or disappears bubbling into the sea. I am repeatedly told that it is imperative that we ‘save the country,’ and yet, invariably, the people who shout this most loudly exhibit no discernible interest in doing any of the difficult things that would get them closer to their ostensible goal,” he added.”
Also, Longtime political strategist James Carville said a massive victory by Vice President Kamala Harris over former President Donald Trump could prove crucial to the GOP following the election in November. In an interview Wednesday, he was asked about a recent Politico column that cited some “long-standing” GOP figures who wouldn’t admit publicly that they’re looking to move on from the Trump era. “Remember, Republicans got blown out in ’64 and won the presidency in ’68. Democrats got blown out in ’72 and won the presidency in ’76,” Carville noted. He cited conservative pundit Erick Erickson claim that Republicans could “benefit from a blowout.”
Carville continued, “So — what I tell my Republican friends — if you want your party back, if you want the kind of pro-business, lower taxes, lighter regulatory cuts, stand erect at attention during the anthem, the only way you’re gonna get that back is through a blowout.”
By the way, I just saw a side-by-side image of JD Vance and Tim Walz. Tim looks like the guy next door, with laughing eyes, genuinely happy to see you, with an honest, huge, wide, friendly, goofy, toothy, small-town grin.
JD also is smiling – sort of. His compressed-lip, grudging, slightly turned up at the corners almost-but-not-quite, used-car-salesman, hard-eyed smirk is one I last saw on another high-pressure salesman who was just edgy to get down to business and worm his hand into my pocket.
Seems like each of the pair are running true to form …

I assume by “Big Dodgeball” he means a Rover. I’ll ask Number Six.
