   I see a few possibilities:

   1. As I’ve said before, the GOP…doesn’t actually know how to make things, only break them. This team consistently fumbles the simplest of tasks & hasn’t shown much ability to leverage the captive media landscape their predecessors worked so hard to build out of bullshit & fear.

   The GOP is so obsessed with Trump they’ve just relied on him to supply all their content, since he won’t take direction anyway.

     I’m honestly baffled by the GOP’s total inability to switch gears & get their machine together after Harris flipped the game.

     They’re usually REALLY good at manufacturing, packaging, & distributing new talking points through their handy pet media. Rarely does it take more than 48 hours.

     Why can’t they figure this out? Why are they willing to flail so publicly & embarrassingly?

     This isn’t over by a long shot. But they don’t even seem to know how to try to recover. It’s not like them.

     Bill repeated this.
