Suppose you worked hard for decades to achieve something and, when you finally accomplished it, the prize youd dreamed of for so long turned out to be a big, fat millstone around your neck.
And, even worse, suppose you couldnt admit your new self-inflicted handicap was dragging you down you had to smile bravely and pretend to be savoring a great moral victory.
Thats pretty much where the Republican Party finds itself, at the state and national levels, with the pivotal midterm elections less than 10 weeks away. The issue hurting the GOP, the topic thats become sort of a life raft for foundering Democrats, is abortion.
Charlie Crist and Val Demings, the Democratic nominees for governor and U.S. Senate, are using abortion to depict Ron DeSantis and Marco Rubio, the Republicans in those offices now, as Neanderthals wanting to keep women pregnant, barefoot and in the kitchen. To be completely fair, Rubio and DeSantis havent said anything about shoes, but theyre pretty much stuck with a hardline pro-life position that seems totally out of fashion politically.
