Repeat after me, GOP; it's pronounced 'Comma-luh'

By Patricia Murphy / The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

It seems like Republicans cannot get out of their own way. After a triumphant and unified Republican National Convention last week, it seemed like they were on a glide path to defeat the Democrats, who found themselves forced to swap in Vice President Kamala Harris for the aging President Joe Biden barely three months out from Election Day.

With voters still uneasy about the direction of the economy and the ongoing dysfunction at the southern border, it seemed like all former President Donald Trump had to do was keep hammering away at the issues where voters trust him more than Democrats and call it a day. Add in a promise to be a president for all Americans, as he did last week when he warned of the dangers of “discord and division,” and Trump could even win by a landslide.

But the former president and the deputies most loyal to him haven’t been able to help themselves with Harris as their new target.

After months of promising a “big tent” Republican Party and showcasing their outreach to women and minority voters, it took them less than 24 hours to unleash a series of personal attacks on the country’s first Black female vice president, who is also Indian American, that hearken back to the country’s worst days.

1. They know how to pronounce it.

Just like they know it's the Democratic Party, not the Democrat Party.

But they have their marching orders to continue to mispronounce both, in order to continue to appeal to that demographic of voters who can't tie their own shoelaces without extensive coaching.
