Super savvy insider Dana Bash actually thinks

R's are in the middle on resproductive rights. After warning R's that their stance on IVF was unpopular, she quoted Matt Gaetz approvingly. Gaetz basically told his fellow repuga to back off on the IVF controversy.

Bash said if they listened to Gaetz they would moving back to the middle.

Excuse me? Even if the IVF thing had never come up, the Rs are NOWHERE near the middle. They haven't been in the middle or anywhere near it for decades.

I guess they don't teach that in super savvy inside the beltway talking head school.

and only for the right, of course. Still, she really thinks she's "in the know."

...in places like Alabama, where court decisions have come down that are not easily reversed. Not to mention, there is a little problem inside the Republican party: nutcase religious fundamentalists, many (but not all) of the radtrad Catholic variety, who will always push for the most extreme "pro-life" agenda no matter how harmful it is to women. Anyone who has the slightest doubt should watch a couple days worth of fundamentalist TV like EWTN.

My post was about LOESH and ROGAN, not BASH (I'm 77), my point stands. Here's my first draft:

She (LOESCH) and ROGAN think YouTube trivia makes them smart and intellectually curious.

In my University of YouTube studies, I've picked out where they've gotten some of their pretend insights - not that the videos weren't insightful but that those two pass them off as their own.

Ban all abortion, than go for banning birth control, IVF, per-marital sex, Dresses above the knees.
Then the ones who ONLY want all abortion banned are in the middle.

They way it comes out right now is a very bland "... Dana Bash actually thinks"
Stick some of your criticism into the title to provide some bite.

You have more experience than me so please disregard as you want.

In any case, thank you for your postings. I've enjoyed them.

Bash probably also buys into Nikki Haley's claim that we need to find a consensus on abortion when in fact there has been a consensus on abortion for decades. She just happens to be on the wrong side.
