Republicans Blinded By Scandal

Stuart Rothenberg: “Some Republicans are so excited at the thought of multiple controversies dogging the White House over the next few months (or longer) that they are already foaming at the mouth…. But Republicans ought to remember that they have seen this movie before, and the ending was not what they hoped for or expected.”

Charlie Cook: “These days, the country is even more polarized, and the conservative echo chamber is louder than ever before. Many conservatives made it all the way to Election Day last November unaware that their White House nominee was falling short. How could Mitt Romney possibly lose when everyone they knew was voting for him? Except that he did lose, and it wasn’t even a very close race.”
