How are the Republicans gone to spin their leadership problem?

[rbrnmw]

Eventually they will somehow try to blame President Obama or Secretary Clinton. I know there are creative people here who can have some fun predicting how. I personally don't know how but know they will try.

1. This morning

I received an email from a rw relative saying McCarthy voted with Democrats most of the time and was a Republican lite. Guess it's starting, the rewrite of history.

4. Fox news will probably say McCarthy is a democrat from California, C-Span did this

yesterday when McCarthy did his little speech to reporters.

5. They don't have to worry about it.

The electorate is so fucking dumb and/or uninterested it doesn't even matter.

11. I agree, but for a different reason

The political reporters, by tacit agreement, will not notice: "What leadership crisis? This is the sign of a healthy party! They know they can air their minor differences in public because the Republicans are so resilient." Remember, the favored narrative is that it's the Democrats who are in disarray, while the Republicans are the party of the unified front.

6. Peter King called the Republican Conference in a 'Banana Republic' yesterday.

I don;t think they can spin this one. Even reporters who normally carry their water are FINALLy saying what we all know to be true, the GOP is being taken over by true extremists.

The GOP sinks deeper into chaos. Can it still function as a party?

Less than a year after a sweeping electoral triumph, Republicans are on the verge of ceasing to function as a national political party.

The most powerful and crippling force at work in the ­once-hierarchical GOP is anger, directed as much at its own leaders as anywhere else.

8. I look forward to laughing for a year the next time a Republican says something

about Republicans being the party of grown-ups.

13. 85% of America doesn't know who the speaker of the house is.

In 2000, just 6% of people knew Dennis Hastert was the speaker.

Do they really have to say anything?
