He’s out. Thank God.
Yes, he is the most worthless politician in America:
It seems only minutes ago that the whole political world was agog at his tremendous political talent. Well…
The lesson? Never assume that the next GOP Great Whitebread Hope is as fantastic as the press corps thinks he is.
The other lesson? If you’re going to run as the biggest asshole in politics you’d better have a lot of money and celebrity that makes people think you must be really great anyway. Ron is just an asshole.
I am so happy to see the end of him. It’s been a real horror covering his disgusting campaign. Let’s hope we never see him on the national stage again. This massive flame-out argues for him joining Scott Walker and Tim Pawlenty in the Loser Hall of Fame.
What does it all mean? We’ll unwind all that in the next few days. But Greg Sargent is right that it spells the end of the big post-pandemic “woke” war. That battle in the culture war is coming to an end, but never fear, the war isn’t over.
