So, is the GOP melting down right now? You decide.

First, the putative leader of the GOP is calling for the Senate GOP leader to be replaced, immediately. 1/

The leader of the Senate GOP campaign arm, Rick Scott, is being openly accused of financial mismanagement by his peers. 2/

There is an unprecedented and well-funded effort by Republicans to convince other Republicans not to vote Republican.

Liz Cheney will be campaigning with Democrats this fall.

When have we ever seen anything like this? 3/

Today there were signs GOP candidates have been told to start distancing themselves from Trump, MAGA, abortion extremism (LOL!!!!).

GOP House candidate in swing district scrubbing site of Trump endorsement. 4/

Here's an AZ MAGA scrubbing his site of Trump and MAGA. 5/

Here's the AZ Senate nominee running screaming from his extremist abortion positions. Another website scrub. 6/

Here's a CO GOP state senator switching parties, saying the GOP had become an existential threat. 7/

Jan 6th related investigations spreading.

GOP leaders in AZ, GA, MI, NV, PA, WI have been subpoenaed.

Democratic candidates are raising tons of money. R candidates aren't.

WTF here GOP? 9/

washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…
And then there is Trump's ongoing criminality, betrayal of the country.

It has become THE GOP news story every day, blocking out all efforts by Rs to reach voters.

And it's likely to get much worse in the weeks ahead. 10/

nytimes.com/2022/08/23/us/…
Been doing this for 30 years and we've never seen this level of infighting, underperformance, money troubles, criminality, defections, extremism in a political party.

GOP is melting down, cracking up, struggling, losing.

Dems are closing strong. 10/

Lots of unhappiness with GOP House campaign arm too......

is GOP falling apart, melting down, splintering just weeks before people start voting?

Sure looks like it. 11/

Meltdown......

Meltdown, part xxxxx

Malevolence, venality, criminality yes but also incompetence, stupidity and meltdown.

In other news it is now undeniable that there is a Russian fifth column operating in United States trying to destroy the country and the global democracy movement from within.

In the last week Kennedy made it clear he is seeking to become a leader of this fifth column.
That MAGA is a Russian fifth column is now being openly discussed by Republican leaders themselves as they look on in horror at what has become of the party of Reagan.

Could RFK have constructed a more pro-Russian position?

“This is the reality that every American Citizen faces — from Ed Snowden, to Julian Assange to the J6 activists sitting in a Washington DC jail cell stripped of their Constitutional liberties.”

With another roaring jobs report - 303,000!!! - my monthly jobs tracker now comes in at:

33.8m jobs = 16 yrs Clinton, Obama
15.2m jobs = 3+ yrs Biden
1.9m jobs = 16 yrs 2 Bushes, Trump

8 times more Biden jobs than last 3 R Presidents COMBINED. 1/ Image
The rate of job growth has been 40 times higher under Biden than it was under the last 3 GOP Presidents. 40 times. Last month's 303,000 jobs would be 2 1/2 years of job growth under Republicans. 2/ Image
Since 1989 51 million jobs have been created in America. 49 million - 96% - of those have been created under Democratic Presidents. Essentially all of them, over 3 and half decades. 3/ Image

Morning after Michigan thread:
- Biden wins big, breaks 80%, uncommitted at a very modest 13%. Opposition to Biden foreign policy limited, but intense.
- Trump underperforms public polling again, 4th state in a row. Trump/RNC are struggling. More 👇1/

hopiumchronicles.com/p/bidens-succe…
For Dems, big takeaway - there just isn't a big backlash in party against Biden's handling of Israel-Hamas:
- Uncommitted got 11% vs Obama in 2012, 13% vs Biden
- In Econ/YouGov Dems approve of Biden for pol 71-21, 18-29s year olds give good marks. 2/

hopiumchronicles.com/p/joe-biden-is…
As @Lawrence and I discussed last night on @TheLastWord, Dems are having a real debate about foreign policy right now, and that's healthy. What democracies do.

Biden has work to do to get his coalition together, as all candidates do 8-9 months out. 3/

Stop calling Trump a strong candidate. He
- isn't leading or favored in national polling 👇
- was outraised by Nikki Haley last month
- is burning through $$$$
- underperformed NH polls by 10-15 pts
- is losing all his court cases, badly
- his party is broke, struggling
- NY-3!
The GOP = unprecedented shitshow:
- got beat in 2018, 2020, 2022, 2023, struggling in early 2024
- leadership ousted, dozens indicted
- broke, burning cash
- House Members abandoning ship
- flacking Russia disinfo, serially betraying the country
- nominee is bat shit crazy
Listen to this interview.

THIS IS A MASSIVE SCANDAL. It’s an unbelievable betrayal of the country. Media has to stop covering these guys as any thing other than rancid Russian fifth columnists.

As we await the results of NY-3 tonight, a reminder that the Democratic Party has been on a remarkable run of late.

More in my analysis below, and a few points here in a thread. 1/

hopiumchronicles.com/p/the-democrat…
Dems have won more votes in 7 of past 8 Presidential elections, the best popular vote run of an American political party in history.

In the last 4 Pres elections, we've averaged 51%, Rs 46%. It's our best run since FDR's 4 elections 80+ yrs ago. 2/
hopiumchronicles.com/p/the-democrat…
In 2016 Trump barely prevailed, even with:
- extraordinary intervention by Russia
- decapitation of the DNC
- FBI's unprecedented intervention

He never was a strong candidate, with a special connection to the electorate. Polls weren't wrong - Comey changed election at end. 3/

Holy moly - a huge jobs report!

33.8m jobs = 16 yrs Clinton, Obama
14.8m jobs = 3 yrs Biden
1.9m jobs = 16 yrs 2 Bushes, Trump 1/ Image
Jobs have been created at more than 40 times the rate under Biden as under the last 3 GOP Presidents.

Note that R Presidents averaged 120,000 jobs created PER YEAR for 16 yrs, while 353,000 were created LAST MONTH alone. 2/ Image
Since 1989, when the Berlin Wall fell and a new age of globalization began, 51 million net new jobs have been created in America.

49 million of those, 96%, have been created under Democratic Presidents. Essentially all of them. 3/ Image
