The GOP today is kabuki theater. It always leads to a predetermined outcome. The GOP gets to play the supposed bad guy who always loses to the supposed good guy, the Dems.
It explains the posturing that is pure theater. No real opposition. The GOP pretends to be an opposition party and the Democrats pretend to be bothered by it.
But this email flap isn't kabuki. The usual thing is for them to act like speaker Ryan. Accept all the Dems talking points and wag their fingers at the Russians. Never mind the incompetence or malfeasance regarding the emails. Never mind that Hillary endangered national security.
As long as Trump keeps hitting her with this the way he is, he could cause some real damage. The press lackeys won't be interested in being anything except waterboys for Hillary.
So now the press is in a fit because of what Trump said about the emails. Instead of reporting it honestly, they are accusing Trump of doing bad things. Well, Hillary's emails happened years ago.
Trump was talking about something that happened years ago. The latest leaks are recent though. But it follows the same pattern. They'll just keep sloughing it off until somebody holds them accountable. The press won't. The GOP kabuki kids won't. But Trump is.
That's an improvement, I'd say.
