Team Trumpster has had to deal with so many crises for so long now that we're expecting many of them will suffer shorter lifespans from all the stress. (Gee, couldn't happen to a nicer group of people.)
This week (and yes, see our headline, above), on top of yesterday's Kavanaugh Calamity, the White House and Republicans who are desperately trying to figure out how they can hold on to Congress have just endured another blow: There's no way for indicted GOP New York Congressman Chris Collins to get off the ballot this November.
Which means that the only hope now for Republicans to keep this heretofore safe seat is for Collins to win — and then resign, forcing Govenror Cuomo to call a special election.
But how safe is that seat when the incumbent is a securities fraudster? Will the RNC and RCCC and various leadership PACs and the New York Republican Party all have to put money and effort into this race so they can run a clean candidate after November 6? How will it look for them to be putting trillions of dollars into electing a crook? How do Paul Ryan, Kevin McCarthy and Steve Scalise spin that?
So here's what Democrats should say: Support us, and you get the candidate you’re voting for. If you vote for Collins you can be assured of one thing: Your candidate will NOT be seated by the next Congress. And if Collins wins, that means New York will have to pay for an unnecessary special election, just to allow Republicans to continue to rig elections and avoid the judgment of the people. We cats HISS.
