Tomorrow evening will be my night to catch up on news and dig a little deeper. That said, it is time that we quit rewarding and worshiping the 24 hr news cycle that is fueled by our emotional response to every rumor that comes out. The main thing I can say is "innocent until proven guilty." However, in our current state there is no need to prove anything, because we lynch upon first word, and the media is judge, jury and executioner.
As for what is happening to the GOP as an organization, for over a decade we have heard these professional career politicians whine about what is happening, and they have talked about all they want to do and undo. For seven and a half months they have had all they need to do all they promised. What we are seeing is that they didn't mean what they said, and they really like the way it was going. Did you see the video of McCain the night of the vote on the ACA? Did you read some of what took place that day? Those we call RINO's, and many we had not identified, are nothing more than part of the DFL, and view us in contempt.
