Social media nutters, most w/o names and a few score Twitter followers, are targeting long-time conservatives like @DLoesch @seanhannity @marklevinshow and me b/c w/ think the 20 are doing great damage. They say the represent "The Base." It is sort of hilarious.
Always ask for a definition of "The Base" when you see "The Base" invoked. Mine: You are willing to state your name and state, you have voted in at least five consecutive elections for the R (which means you are at least 26) and that you can articulate Constitutional principles.
Desperation among those supporting #TheGaetzGang growing b/c their "time for my close-up" moment is turning into a communal self-immolation. If you saw @SeanHannity take apart Lauren Boebert last night, you saw what is ahead for all the 20.
Overnight @GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy's support remained very strong. Anger among the 200 v. the 20 grew and became vocal. The permanent damage to the careers of the 20 begins today. Their legacy media heat shield is melting away and the reasonable few have to find a way out stat 1
I'll play the presser of the score of veterans who seem particularly incensed b/c they know how leadership works. The grandstanding could go on a long time, but it is clear that McCarthy is not quitting and his rock-solid support is not slipping. 2
Now it is just a question of how much damage the 20 do to the 200, to themselves, the @HouseGOP and the party. It is already enormous but it is growing. Now the 20 have publicly spurned former President Trump. Quite the plan they put together. 3
