The bursting bubble

It's official: U.S. House Republicans have ousted Liz Cheney (R-WY) as their Conference Chair. To be honest, I'm ambivalent about this move. While I believe Cheney is an asset to the caucus given her mostly conservative voting record, I wish she'd not respond to the feckless meandering of former President Donald Trump. I have no issue with Cheney's desire to ensure Trump never becomes POTUS again. But to continually rail on that matter instead of the GOP focusing on defeating the President Biden agenda as well as taking back the House in 2022 is counterproductive. To that end, Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy should be the next to go. 

With all that said, this isn't the death knell for the GOP that CNN and MSNBC talking heads (as well as the prog Twitter bubble) believe it will be. Hell, why do you think those TV networks are providing wall-to-wall coverage of the Cheney ouster while barely paying lip service to obscenely long lines at gas stations, lackluster employment numbers and higher than expected inflation? When it comes to the first four months of the Biden presidency, the leftist media is (to borrow a quote from another Cheney) looking to put lipstick on a pig. 

This isn't complicated. Americans are more readily aware of the soaring costs of everyday purchases (i.e. gasoline and food), the crisis at the southern border and our ally Israel being thrown under the bus by leftist elected officials than they are a power struggle among the minority party in the House. And I believe the 2022 midterms will absolutely reflect those priorities.
