Republicans’ breath taking arrogance and hubris is finally starting to catch up with them. Over the past year the Republican Party has completed their transition from a political party onto a vindictive Cult of Personality. Americans aren’t happy with lack of substance Republicans are offering, as they peruse culture wars like book banning, and passing laws to make voting as cumbersome and bureaucratic as possible.

In the immediate future the Select Committee public hearings promises to drag Republican extremists like Mo Brooks, Paul Gosar, and Andy Biggs through a political cactus patch, and expose Republicans’ anti democratic attitudes toward elections. Today’s Republicans have distinguished themselves with astounding levels of cowardice, as they seek to placate the infantile leader of their party.

Republicans lose edge on generic congressional ballot: poll

BY JULIA MANCHESTER

Republicans have lost their lead on the generic congressional ballot ahead of November's midterm elections, according to a new USA Today-Suffolk University poll released on Tuesday.

The survey shows Democrats narrowly leading Republicans on the generic ballot, 39 percent to 37 percent, marking a major shift from the GOP's previous 8-point lead in a November USA Today-Suffolk University poll. The Democrats' lead falls with the poll's 3.1 percentage margin of error.
