Which is not what this Senator is doing, whoever he is. Erick Erickson, the conservative who founded RedState, relays in The Resurgent an interview he conducted with an unnamed GOP Senator while treading the aisles of a grocery store:
“I say a lot of shit on TV defending him, even over this. But honestly, I wish the motherf*cker would just go away. We’re going to lose the House, lose the Senate, and lose a bunch of states because of him. All his supporters will blame us for what we have or have not done, but he hasn’t led. He wakes up in the morning, sh*ts all over Twitter, sh*ts all over us, sh*ts all over his staff, then hits golf balls. F*ck him. Of course, I can’t say that in public or I’d get run out of town.”
Sigh. Misplaced loyalty, party over country. If this politician really wants to look like a leader, then do what Senator McCain does – criticize the President when he screws up. If the GOP leadership would do that instead of simpering, the GOP would be in a lot better shape for the upcoming midterms.
But they’re caught up in their right-wing psychosis, and don’t really get what it means to lead in a democratic republic.
The rest of the interview is a bit of a hoot, I must say.
