Barone’s analysis is useless given the fact the he’s pretending the Democrats didn’t cheat, and are intent on ramming their agenda through by making their cheating tactics legal. They don’t care what the voters want.
The Republican establishment doesn’t want to admit that their business as usual agenda is no longer wanted. They don’t want to be bothered with a need for statesmanship and courage.
Barone has long been a mouthpiece for the establishment Republicans.
