    Cut them a little slack: vampires can’t see themselves in the mirror.

    Seriously though, I remember the Republican party having a come to Jesus moment (pun possibly intended) after their 2008 (or was it 2012) loss to Obama. They didn’t lash out, blaming this that and the other, deflecting blame; they introspected on their own missteps. This long Clintonian dynasty will never do that, and they need to be purged.

    Edit to add: And their Vote Blue No Matter Who constituency is so West Wing pilled that it doesn’t occur to them to take these people to account for their failures, because the Bartlet administration can do no wrong.

      And then they immediately nominated the candidate that has done that more than anyone.
