Are Republican incumbents running scared?
Are they fearful that they are going to get slaughtered in the midterms?
Are they blaming it on Trump?
I doubt it, but perhaps they should be.
They are running away from the "big, beautiful bill" that they were so exuberant about just a few months ago. They are seeing some upsetting results from a few "special" elections. Their Party has not been doing so well with their voters.
Deep down, they believe that their right-wing propaganda networks will save them from political reality. But, they may be mistaken?
Many, like Joe Rogan, are pretending that they are just now realizing that they were lied to. They are looking for an excuse to get off the bus.
Before it goes over the cliff.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
