Leni I agree with your comments but I think it would have been much better if Joe Walsh hadn’t held up Michelle Bachmann for ridicule. We get enough of that from the Left.
Wouldn’t it have been better to talk amongst themselves this early on with so much hate coming from the Left, and expressed his views privately? He shouldn’t have said it.
If he felt there was some good reason to point her out to the media to get some important word out to the voters, of course he should speak up. But who was served by his comments?
IMO, Republican leadership allowed it to become a potential distraction with their ham handed “Paul Ryan speaks for the Republican Party” nonsense.
