THE HILL ain't a hotbed of TDS. In fact, it's rather reasonable. It's a decent source of objectivity. This take seems more connected to the real world than isle's GOPaphobic, race-tinged rant.
Strong stuff. All the more significant because it doesn't come from a source of deranged anti-Trump hate.
Stumbling, mumbling, fumbling Herschel Walker finally flopped out of the Georgia Senate race. But while Walker can — and probably will — just exit politics and sink back into semi-obscurity, the man who dragged him into the race and imposed a demonstrably unqualified candidate on Georgia Republicans is now stuck dealing with the damage.
The Georgia Senate loss belongs to Donald Trump.
...laboring under the delusion that Trump is a political genius and should never be counted out, many timid Republican officeholders are still hesitant to fully break with him — but it’s time for even the most pusillanimous Republican VIPs to head for the lifeboats and escape the Trump Titanic.
Not only is it clear that Trump is descending further into self-pity and rage, Republican voters continue to hemorrhage away from him at a steady pace.
Trump is in a downward spiral, more than partly of his own making: He has shown himself to be not really very good at politics.
He’s a loser.
He knows how to bluster and bluff, and that’s about it.
Sounds good to pb.
