It's the Insane Reds vs. the Blue Lucys.
Politicians Red and Blue love PEU (private equity underwriters) and increasingly, more are one.
Update 11-9-22: The leader of the Insane Reds reacted to election results thus far:
Former President Donald Trump "is livid" and "screaming at everyone" after many Republican candidates backed by him underperformed in Tuesday's midterm elections, an advisor to Trump told CNN.
Update 11-14-22: Senator Rick Scott predicted the Red Team would easily gain control of the U.S. Senate. After they failed Scott said:
"Here's what happened to us. Election Day ... our voters didn't show up...."
Voters showed up. Many independents voted against the Insane Reds.
Update 11-18-22: The Blue Lucys plan to shield the Saudi Crown Prince from a U.S. civil suit filed by the widow of WaPo journalist Jamaal Khashoggi.
Update 11-19-22: A former top State Department advisor called the move to protect the Saudi Crown Prince a bad strategy and is "carrying MBS's water."
Update 1-1-23: A retiring member of Congress blames the likely next Speaker of the House for the burgeoning Insane Red team.
Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) said on Sunday that he blamed House Minority Leader (R-Calif.) for what he called the “crazy elements” in Congress and for the reason former President Trump is “still a factor” in politics.
Update 1-7-23: Kevin McCarthy won Speaker of the House in the 15th ballot after negotiating with extreme members of the his Insane Red Team. One House member astutely observed:
“We would have won more seats in 2022 but too many feared the extremes in the GOP even before this.”
Many of those same extreme Insane Red Team members had their hands in the Jan. 6th insurrection, which saw its second anniversary yesterday. Insane with no shame...portends poorly for our country.
Update 1-9-23: Newly elected Insane Red Rep. Cory Mills joked about the criminal attack on Paul Pelosi.
