Last week I told myself the attack needed to be beat back by this midweek

5. There is something going on here I haven't been able to understand...

I can usually come up with at least a few hypothetical end points to what is apparently a concerted effort… This episode, I’ve got nothing.

I do know why I have nothing, however.

It centers on the fact that with all of these calls (coming just as the primaries ended, with President Biden walking away with a mandate and the Democratic turnout almost doubling that of the Trumpublicans in many instances) there is no clear replacement and none is usually given.

They are generally dismissive of VP Harris stepping to the top of the ticket.

Who is this superhuman who’s going to step in at the zeroth hour?

Sure, they may be trying to push Trump out of the headlines, but for God’s sake choose something that leaves less of a mark.

Also, I suppose, they could be trying to smoke out the plants like the two Senators who crept in for 2020 and basically derailed the proceedings until the mid-terms.

Neither of those seems plausible.

So, we’re left blaming a trolling press. Frustrated by losing their influence as king makers. Which, they ceded years ago by being so biased that they became irrelevant.
