I agree that the Dems have lied and manipulated their way to this point and should own this shitshow.
But I don't think the Republican party has shown the competence over the years to not have this blow up in their faces.
It's easy to be the party that pokes holes in the logic and the behavior of the other party. It's hard to be the party that leads and unites the American people. The Republicans have had their turn at the former, and they're about to get their chance at the latter. We'll see if they ***** it up or not.
