Are Republican incumbents running scared?

Are they fearful that they are going to get slaughtered in the midterms?

Are they blaming it on Trump?

I doubt it, but perhaps they should be.

They are running away from the "big, beautiful bill" that they were so exuberant about just a few months ago. They are seeing some upsetting results from a few "special" elections. Their Party has not been doing so well with their voters.

Deep down, they believe that their right-wing propaganda networks will save them from political reality. But, they may be mistaken?

Many, like Joe Rogan, are pretending that they are just now realizing that they were lied to. They are looking for an excuse to get off the bus.

Before it goes over the cliff.

It will come as a shock to many who has been steering all this time. And whose agenda it really is.
