Ed
Rollins has worked for Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, George Bush the First and
Ross Perot. He joined Minnesota Representative Michele Bachmann’s presidential campaign
this past summer and guided her to a straw-poll victory in Iowa.
But
the New York Times reported this morning that Rollins has stepped down from the
“day-to-day operations” (health reasons were cited) and is now a senior
advisor. Add to that, the fact that Rollin’s deputy David Polyansky is leaving
the Bachmann campaign and campaign bullshit aside, the message is clear: Ed Rollins
fulfilled his contract and has opted out.
But
another message is even clearer: The GOP back-room boys are finished with
Bachmann as their clown act so they gave Rollins the high sign
However,
from the reports about the Republican presidential candidates’ Labor Day
activities, the GOP is going to have to forge a more powerful platform than
pro-forma grousing about Obama having single-handedly put the United States in
the woeful situation it finds itself in.
Because
that is not going to fly.
Too
many journalists, Democrats and Republicans themselves know the blame for our
collapse lies in the Republican Bush administration and the GOP itself.
And
by the way, when “the Republican Party”: or “the GOP” is cited in any news
report, it means the people pulling the strings and making the decisions in
Republican political matters including the Tea Party. The Tea Party is another
clown act that is just about to get a notice from the bosses about the rules of
the game. Whether Sarah Palin can acquiesce to the requirements is a big question. But the GOP has
made it clear Bachmann is out, fun-times are over and it will give Palin a
chance to prove she has grown up enough to act like a real contender.
I'm betting she will blow it due to her narcissistic pathology because that's her nature.
