R. Emmett Tyrell argues the GOP is flubbing the next election and that they should be calling for the elimination of the TSA entirely.

As Tyrell points out, the TSA was one of the demands made by none other than Chuck U. Schumer after 911, that a unionized federal bureaucracy be created to take over what airports had traditionally done with private security. And the TSA does "security theatre" as he calls it. He's right; they do not catch any more terrorists than did the old private screeners but simply make it more difficult and inconvenient and embarrassing to fly. They do full body cavity searches to elderly grandmothers while ignoring military age Middle Eastern men, all in the name of "equity". The private guys can do better, and some airports never went with the TSA and actually do fine.

Tyrell is right; Trump should talk about eliminating the TSA now. He at least should talk about how the Democrats refuse to fund it while we're at war with a major sponsor of terrorism. Make the People think about THAT.

I would argue the Democrats WANT a terrorist attack so they an blame Donald J. Trump.

He observes:

That's right; the GOP is not fulfilling it's contract with the nation and especially not with MAGA and the public is quick to fire such as they and try someone else, even if fearing the new folks will be worse. Americans are sick to death of inaction by our government and want them to wake from their tax-fueled slumber at any cost.

Lethargy by the Party breeds lethargy from the base, while the Democrats are energized, much like the demons after their fall from Heaven in Milon's immortal poem. Independents see that and are attracted to the passion; these are the unthinking folks, the low information voters, who don't understand the vicissitudes of politics but know they want someone who will take action. It's the same thing that gave Germany Hitler, or Italy Mussolini, or Russia Lenin. JUST DO SOMETHING! The Democrats will do the wrong thing but the LoFo Voto won't know.

If the GOP doesn't awaken soon they will zombie-walk their way into minority status and all will crash down. But then that is the goal of John Thune and his mentor Mitch "the long game" McConnell all along - to undermine MAGA and kill it so the rightful rulers of the GOP can return to suck up the money and bask in the power without doing anything of substance.
