They're fundamentally not stupid people, just disinclined to look beyond or behind their received opinions. Lazy more than dim perhaps.

"Necessary".
Meanwhile, Missouri's Governor still isn't taking one for the team. Looks like a special session later this month to consider impeachment.

Obamacare would be gone without his vote. The economic effect of that, aside from the health effect, would be appalling for West Virginia. More jobs would be lost from that than the total of mining jobs in the state.
Anyhow, he's being primaried.Last edited by Tubby Isaacs; 06-05-2018, 20:35.

Blankenship has responded in kind, launching a slash-and-burn campaign targeting McConnell.
His scorching attacks have veered into deeply personal, even racially charged territory.
This week, Blankenship began airing a TV commercial labeling McConnell “Cocaine Mitch,” an apparent reference to a 2014 report that drugs were once found aboard a shipping vessel owned by the family of McConnell’s wife, Taiwan-born Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao. Then, a few days later, Blankenship began airing another spot declaring that McConnell’s “China family has given him tens of millions of dollars.”

Nice precis of the last week of Rudy! being Rudy!
Giuliani is being as aggressive as Trump has said he wants his lawyers to be. He asserted yesterday that Trump does not need to comply if special counsel Robert Mueller subpoenas him, opened the door to the president invoking the Fifth Amendment if forced to testify and then declared that “the Founding Fathers created immunity for a president, so the president can't be indicted.”
“I am focused on the law more than the facts right now,” he told CNN last night.
Earlier in the day, he told George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s “This Week”: “My issue is getting up to speed on the facts here. I’m about halfway there.”
Some lawyers might wait to defend their client on television until they were all the way there. Not Rudy. But this is not actually his biggest problem.
Giuliani is repeating seven of the mistakes that have felled previously highflying Trump aides, who rose rapidly only to fall out of favor
