The Republican Party swears that they want to learn from their mistakes so that they don't suffer another disaster like they did in the midterms, but the team they've assembled to get things in order probably won't accomplish that goal. The RNC has tapped Kellyanne Conway, senate loser Blake Masters, and several other weirdos to do a postmortem on the party's midterm performance. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Well, the Republican party is, uh, getting underway with their midterm post-mortem, and they have assembled a crack team of people to get to the bottom of why the Republicans underperformed in 2022 and leading this pack of weirdos is none other than Kelly Ann Conway. That is one of the people that the NC has tapped to figure out why Republicans didn't do so well this year. They have also tapped evangelical lobbyists, Tony Perkins and Senate Campaign Loser Blake Masters. So they have assembled a team of weirdos and losers to find out why the public thinks that Republicans are weirdos and losers. I really, really truly wish that this was fake, like this kind of seems like the story you would see from the onion, but this is real. This is what, uh, Republican National Committee chair Ronald McDaniel has done. A postmortem is a good idea, but putting some of the wackiest and most fringe characters that your party has to offer in charge of it means that you're not going to get the correct conclusion with your final report.
Because the problem with the Republican Party in the eyes of the voters are people like, I don't know Kelly Ann Conway, Tony Perkins and Blake Masters, but now you've put these freaks in charge of finding out why people don't like the party. You think they're gonna come back and be like, Hey, um, it's us with like, it turns out it was the three of us and everything we stand for and do within the Republican party that turned voters off. Like that's not going to happen. Here's what's even funnier about this. Those of you who've been following politics long enough, especially following us here at Ring of Fire long enough, know that after the 2012 election in which met Romney got thoroughly thumped by Barack Obama, Republicans came out at that time and said, gosh, darn it, we gotta do a postmortem. We gotta figure out why. Voters overwhelmingly rejected the Republican party.
And they finally came out with their postmortem and they decided, well, we didn't do anything wrong. Everything was fine. It's just the voters who suck their postmortem of 2012 really didn't analyze anything within their party, other than of course, well, they think we're a little bit out of touch, which is why they then went to Trump, who had his fake populous message, and it kind of worked, I guess, hoodwinking some voters, but now they're wise to that as well. So I don't know what this postmortem is going to bring us, but I do know it's not going to bring Republicans the real answers to what's wrong with their party. Especially, and I know this is the most overlooked one, but Tony Perkins, the evangelical lobbyist, y'all do understand Republicans, that it's your evangelical push that actually help Democrats
The most in the midterms. Taking away abortion rights, launching your culture wars, those were the big things that you paid a price for. So putting an idiot like Tony Perkins on your postmortem panel is probably a very stupid thing because that guy's never going to admit that the things that he stands for are what helped torpedo your party.
