They have an entirely unique perspective of how to advance their political prospects. The issues that they pretend to care about &#8211; from abortion to immigration to foreign conflicts to the economy, etc. &#8211; are merely after thoughts that take a back seat to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=57605\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Donald Trump&#8217;s agenda of <em>&#8220;retribution,&#8221;<\/em><\/a><\/strong> imaginary <em>&#8220;witch hunts,&#8221;<\/em> and compulsive blathering about past elections being <em>&#8220;rigged and stolen.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=59399\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">DO-NOTHING CONGRESS?

And a quick perusal of the page tells the whole story.<\/p>\n<p>Among their posts just the past couple of days are two dozen that aim to malign President Biden as mentally deficient and confused. However, the problem with their efforts is that the video clips they post to prove their points invariably show Biden as knowledgeable and engaging. And some of the posts are just head-scratchers that show only how desperate the GOP is to bash Biden.
