Blue wave?

There is only one way that the Democrats can win, and that is if the Republicans let them.

Quite a statement, there.  But from the way things are going, it looks like the GOP is taking a dive.  It is quite puzzling to observe such a thing.  Why should this party exist, when it acts as if its existence is just too inconvenient to defend?  Why would a party run away from what it runs on, and what it got them elected in the first place?

The idea that a GOP led Congress could impeach one of its own for simply defending himself against a nonexistent crime, is just incomprehensible.  Try to imagine the Democrats impeaching Obama or Clinton.  The Democrats put up a good fight just to keep the GOP from running Clinton out of office.  To impeach one of your own makes sense only when you are planning to take a dive.

Yet this GOP isn't like that GOP that impeached Clinton.   This so-called political party has changed.  The current GOP might as well be Democrats.  Their rhetoric may sound like they are opposed to Democrats, but they sure don't ACT like it.  Even Joe Biden once noted that the GOP doesn't act like a party.

If there is a blue wave, it can only be because there is no alternative.  The GOP is too busy emulating the Democrats in order to actually win elections against Democrats.
