Interesting and informative analysis
WP article: https://www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/born-again-fiscal-conservatives-are-sign-of-trumps-weakening-hand-in-congress/2020/07/29/fa4da31a-d1a5-11ea-8d32-1ebf4e9d8e0d_story.htmlWashington Post: “From the presidentially ambitious Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Josh Hawley (R-MO), to onetime deficit hawks like Sen. Patrick Toomey (R-PA), conservatives are abandoning the president as his top aides struggle with negotiations on a pandemic relief bill that is Trump’s last, best chance to pass legislation that could help his floundering reelection bid.”
“Ignoring their own record of support for adding trillions of dollars to the national debt, these conservatives have signaled that they think, in a post-Trump Republican Party, that deficits will return to the forefront just as they did in the first years of the Obama administration.”
I think she may have had in mind the WW2 soldiers, though.Is there anything more quintessentially Twitter than someone regarding First World War soldiers as Nazis? Mustn't let facts stand in the way of a 'good' tweet.
Perhaps. Though how many were Nazis and how many were just soldiers? Again, facts and Twitter rarely meet.I think she may have had in mind the WW2 soldiers, though.
