Republicans are like the little boy that cried "Wolf!"

They only have one strategy, name-calling and ridicule.

People know their game. They have nothing else.

At one time, the immigration issue was something that worked for them, however fabricated. Then after the Democrats and Republicans worked out a very good bi-partisan compromise, Trump shot it down. He ordered the Republicans not to vote for it, because he wanted it for a political issue.

Now, all they have left are personal attacks. And those are very old with most Americans. Even some of their loyal MAGA supporters are smart enough to see what they are doing. It's just not as funny anymore.

But, in a few days, they will be steaming about the verdict of Judge Merchan, in my opinion. He will actually sentence the "convicted felon".

When the majority of Americans do not support your main platform ideas. Abortion, gun safety, Social Security, immigration, tax rates... the majority of Americans don't support the GOP's ideas and positions in these arenas anymore. So when you have nothing to run on that a plurality of voters agree with you on, you get what we have seen the GOP turn into over the past decade.
