Six faces of the GOP's toxic brand |
The Republican Party has a branding problem, writes former presidential campaign adviser Myra Adams. The party's most recognizable figures are toxic to at least half the country. |
The list of misdeeds committed by these six includes "media stunts, hypocrisy, voter fraud allegations, lies and financial scandals," she writes. First on the list, of course, is former President Trump, followed by three of his acolytes in the House of Representatives, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), who can compete with Trump in being able to do and say anything without it seeming to diminish her popularity among Republicans. The list also includes a conservative Supreme Court justice and a GOP senator who Adams says has lost all credibility by constantly rebranding his relationship with Trump. With these six generating so much media attention, the Republican brand is severely vulnerable heading into the 2024 election cycle. "Democrats (and some Republicans) will exploit the vulnerability of these 'toxic six' GOP brand ambassadors, especially among battleground state voters." Read the op-ed at TheHill.com. |

Russian President Vladimir Putin's announced plan to put nuclear arms in Belarus may pose risks to NATO's nuclear posture. A similar risk emerged in the 1980s when Moscow fielded a new missile aimed at Europe and Japan. Then, NATO responded by deploying its own missiles. It might consider this option again. |

Now, at the very moment when China's economic and military might is surging and its global influence rapidly expanding, the United States is increasingly being weighed down by the cumulative effect of prolonged war and weakened by what British historian Paul Kennedy described in 1987 as "imperial overstretch." |
