Mercedes and Matt Schlapp are the most irritating — and, on the husband's side, closeted — couple since Michele and Marcus Bachmann.
It's a wonder that any respectable news organization would have either of them on at all. But at least when CNN booked Mercedes for Brianna Keilar's early-afternoon show, Keilar was not letting her get off easily. When Schlapp tried the now-tired GOP saw that voting by mail is rife with fraud, Keilar gave her the heave-ho with, "This is pointless. I get it, you’re just saying a bunch of crap! Okay. You’re saying a bunch of crap...very nice to have you."
Schlapp must have been smarting from that, because to retaliate, she went after Keilar's husband on Twitter — but got the wrong guy. Oops.
You know, it's just the latest, albeit small, example of how bad the Trumpsters are at all this. We had just been musing about why they let Jonathan Swan's Axios interview sit in the can for an entire week without even attempting to get out ahead of it. They knew how bad Benedict Donald had been. Why didn't they try a little pre-emptive damage control? Trot out some Trumpy healthcare statisticians to talk about how important deaths-per-cases is, for example? They're not shy about having their trade representative talk about medical matters, so what stopped them?
So why wasn't Mercedes Schlapp smart enough to tweet correctly about Brianna Keilar's husband? Because she couldn't pass a cognitive test? Had to pay someone to take her SATs? We cats wonder, and we HISS.

I just recently discovered Brianna Keilar. Wow. She's the best.
