Duh. Doubling down on stupid... yields bigger stupid.
I understand that most Republicans either can't be bothered with math or just don't understand the stuff, or God said math was the Devil's plaything or whatever. Otherwise, like Elizabeth Warren (and me) they'd become Democrats of some stripe.
I recall the Warren/Brown senate race less than two years ago. I'd had my eye on Warren for years (no, not in that way, you nitwit) and knew she could skin Brown alive in a debate with ease, but was frustrated by her reluctance to do so. She didn't need to get out her cutlery, because Brown was too busy bludgeoning himself with his mighty Stupid Hammer.
Brown attacked Warren for being smart: "Professor Warren" would spit from his mouth like a rotten piece of meat. He attacked her for reporting that she was part Native American just because that's what her parents told her, even though she'd never benefited from that identification.
The good people of my Commonwealth were, as a whole, utterly appalled but this garbage, as any reasonable people would be. Brown slipped in the polls. Whereupon Brown apparently determined that the problem with his strategy was that he wasn't doing enough of it, so he pulled out the stops. "Professor Warren" got spit out like accidentally-ingested drain cleaner, and Brown's staff held a "spontaneous" rally in Boston to highlight Warren's ancestry, complete with war whoops and tomahawk chops. It was a wonder to behold. Amplifying the bad strategy only amplified his descent in the polls, and now we have Senator "Professor" Warren.
Thanks Scott!
So now the Republicans want to double down on BenghaziBenghaziBenghazi, a fully-fake scandal. At this point, most Americans understand that BenghaziBenghaziBenghazi is crap, that Congress should be getting real stuff done instead. The only people who care about Benghazi are Republican voters, who will still vote for Republicans if more BenghaziBenghaziBenghazi hearings are held. Everyone else? We'll just get more pissed at Republicans, and they'll lose potential votes.
BenghaziBenghaziBenghazi's also a fully-fake scandal that's so mightily idiotic that it can be countered effectively in five minutes, with the Benghazi-philes coming out looking like colossal dopes, as Hillary Clinton proved.
Doubling down on The Stupid.
Good luck with that.
Unless Democrats totally @#$% up, both houses of Congress will be Democratic come next January.
