Credibility has long been the currency in Washington that defeats swampian politics.
The new GOP wouldn’t understand this distinction if it waddled up and nipped them in the backside. That’s the legacy of the Trump administration – all politics and no governing. In another era it was called “All hat and no cattle.” Trump and his Housewives replaced credibility with a counterfeit currency. Instead of draining the swamp, they’ve put it on steroids.
Arguably, this is all the result of a right-wing alt media echo-chamber run amock, in which self-aggrandizement replaces ideas as the political holy grail.
While these new “GOP Housewives” may provide entertainment of sorts, I fear they bode ill for the country overall.
