A cause to coalesce

"For the Republicans his year, this should be nothing more than picking low fruit off the tree." 

I swear, this is like a bad dream. No, it is worse than a bad dream. I cannot think of a time in recent history that Democrats have offered up a weaker field. Seriously. A woman of questionable background, who many legal experts believe is one step away from doing the perp walk. Plus an ancient avowed socialist from Brooklyn/Vermont who wants to put this country's rush to bankruptcy in hyperdrive.

For the Republicans his year, this should be nothing more than picking low fruit off the tree. But somehow, they have stumbled down the path towards an easy victory. In fact, they have looked more like Keystone Cops than our Party of Lincoln. Truthfully, there has been more than one time that I just wanted to bury my head in the sand. I simply could not take it anymore.

Even the sitting Republican Senators are getting outplayed by the President (again). This SCOTUS nominee should be given a hearing. And then rejected. Many say this is the type of justice we need - very moderate. Well he is not. In fact, he is very anti-gun. Judge Merrick Garland argued against gun rights in the pivotal case of District of Columbia v. Heller.  That in and by itself should be a disqualifier in any advise and consent hearing. Period. 

My suggestion right now to pull this thing out of the fire is to do two things. First, show the American people Republicans in the House and Senate know how to govern. Quit letting this President make us look like obstructionists or morons. We are better and smarter than that.

Next, we need to stop the fratricide with the three remaining presidential contenders. For the good of the party, two need to leave and actively support the third. The most important thing (one more time), THE MOST IMPORTANT THING is that we WIN in November! If we lose to this incredibly weak Democratic team, the country is doomed. And that is no hyperbole - just fact.

The bottom line is this. We need to coalesce around one person who can beat the opposition in November. And not only coalesce, but support and edify. BTW, edify means the opposite of telling a competitor his wife is homely. And this needs to be done sooner rather than later. 

One final thing. And I was schooled on this once again at a recent town hall meeting. Regardless of what you hear from the Democrats, we do not have three co-equal parts of our government. THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE, is the House of Representatives. That is where most of the "juice" is suppose to happen. The Executive Branch is a distant second, and the Judiciary is an even more distant third. Mr. Speaker - here is your chance this session to really show your "juice". No more Keystone Cops sir - let's roll!
