Solving America’s Problems?

House GOP leaders urge members: Stop making race comments about Harris https://t.co/p0Pw89m6uy

So the GOP House leadership told the House GOP to stop with the race baiting. They think they can win on the facts. No, really:

“This has nothing to do with race. It has to do with the competence of the person running for president, the relative strength of the two candidates and what ideas they have on how to solve America’s problems. And I think in that comparison, we’ll win in a landslide.”

Because, you know, Trump is all about the ideas to solve America’s problems.

One House Republican, granted anonymity to speak candidly, said Republicans who made comments about Harris being a DEI pick, which stands for diversity, equity and inclusion, needed to stop. 

“We have everything going our way and you just can’t handle that?” this member added. “We’ll give you a cheat sheet if you don’t know what else to talk about.”

Are they addressing Trump and Vance?  ‘Cause they need to. Besides, they’re still arguing over whether or not to impeach Biden, Harris, or force her to invoke the 25th amendment, an effort so pointless even the House majority isn’t interested. 

Dusty Johnson, asked about impeaching or investigating Harris, responded that “we’ve got appropriations we need to take care of.” Republicans appear poised to leave town as soon as Wednesday with much of that work unfinished, meaning they’ll return from August recess without much done on government spending ahead of a Sept. 30 shutdown deadline.

Yeah, appropriations are pending again, so…it’s time to leave town for a month.

What better way to point to Harris’ record? But before they leave, they do have time for one resolution.

House GOP leaders are instead considering a border-related resolution led by Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), which aims to condemn Harris’ efforts to address the record surge of border crossings under the Biden administration. That vote could occur as early as Wednesday, and is expected to draw more support than the 25th Amendment approach, particularly in the GOP’s paper-thin majority.

That’s right! Focus on the bi-partisan border bill that failed because…Trump killed it. Bring that up again!

It’s not the Trump campaign; it’s the entire GOP.

“She’s still the sitting vice president, but she’s also been the architect of many of President Biden’s worst failures,” Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) told reporters.

The infrastructure bill? Controlling costs of insulin and drugs for Medicare?  Or do you mean the border bill?

It really is the entire GOP.

When asked about @KamalaHarris candidacy, @HagemanforWY calls @VP a "DEI hire."

"Intellectually, just really kind of the bottom of the barrel...I think she was a DEI hire. And I think that that's what we're seeing, and I just don't think that they have anybody else." pic.twitter.com/Dj9y4pKHrj

Still working on controlling the message.
