By dragging out a case they shouldn't have even taken, the conservative majority tacitly endorses January 6.

Steven Fish: "Dominance is always a crucial aspect of politics, but it’s especially important in the Age of Trump. And the Democrats are definitely losing that game. In Gallup’s most recent poll, 57 percent said they saw Trump as a “strong and decisive leader,” compared to an abysmal 38 percent who said that about Biden. What these numbers suggest is that overwhelming numbers of independents, and even some Democrats, see Trump as stronger than Biden. Now, Biden is seen as more likable, caring, and honest. But people value “strength” in their leaders more than how much they care about people like them, or how knowledgeable they are, and so on."

Trump learns the truth about RFK Jr. the hard way From Heather "Digby" Parton: Supporters touted Kennedy as a perfect Trump running mate; a "dream ticket" ostensibly to attract low information, liberal anti-vaxxers and environmentalists to the GOP. Steve Bannon worked this idea hard, suggesting that a Trump-Kennedy ticket would win in a landslide. [In one of his podcast](~/AASU4wA~/RgRoLwPGP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsveTBpdGF0cHYxaC8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPTFsaDltY2xyZGdXA3NwY0IKZkbHfkxmQrZsw1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo)s last spring he told his audience that when MAGA crowds heard him say that Kennedy would be an excellent choice for Trump's running mate, he would get a standing ovation. (Kennedy [denies](~/AASU4wA~/RgRoLwPGP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvajJyc21jOTN5MC8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPTFsaDltY2xyZGdXA3NwY0IKZkbHfkxmQrZsw1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo) that they ever spoke about it.)
