The GOP Is Not Going To Change
Democrats 2020 win is not as convincing as it is made out to be
Setbacks are a shock to the system. It forces you to draw up a new strategy or risk losing again. It asks you to change tracks or drive into oblivion.
Setbacks are opportunities to adapt and evolve.
The Republican party does not consider the close 2016 Presidential election win a setback. It does not consider the 2020 election loss, the worst loss the party suffered in 88 years, a setback.
Mitch McConnell will sacrifice anything to become the Senate majority leader. Josh Hawley will gladly combine a raised fist with a perfect split to become the Republican Presidential nominee. Ted Cruz will be delighted to exchange family honor for Trump’s endorsement.
These are not ignorant men who love to gallop on the path to lose their careers. Their selfish interests would have forced them to draw up a new strategy. But it didn’t.
A detailed report published by Pew Research Center last week explains GOP's refusal to change tracks. The Democratic party’s 2020 win is not as convincing as it is made out to be. The national media committed a mistake in 2016 and repeated the same mistake in 2020 — Glorifying victory.
