The GQP opposition to the slush fund [View all]

has been and will be played up as the party "standing up" to things. Going into the midterms this will be played to the voters as "proof" that they are independent of Crumb the 1st. This strategy will aim heavily at discouraged GQP voters to get them to the polls and independent voters to try and convince them that there is a true "independence" in the party.

How much of this may have been the "Plan B" or secondary thinking by the political operatives in the WH/GQP? Some of this "outrage" by GQP members and others in the cabal has seemed "structured" to say the least. Crumb The 1st is not the only thing in all of this that stinks to high heaven.

I expect to see more "independent" stances touted by the GQP as they try to convince discouraged voters and independents to vote for a leopard who is supposedly changing its' spots. Any of them reelected will immediately fall back in line as they court being accepted as true MAGA faithful.

All the words of supposed "opposition" to certain things will be treated as "forgotten" just like their words of outrage over January 6th. A clear example of this is Lindsey Graham who holds the rare distinction of having a former job title of JAG official also describe him as a person.
