It's been pure joy watching the R's flap around like hooked fish in the bottom of the boat for the last 24 hours. Another poster made the point that the President masterfully timed his announcement to be after the RNC, and after the Sunday talk shows were over, so there's been no pundit bloviating about "how he looks" or other such nonse…

The best? Stephen Miller (Herr Goebbels vers. 2.0) melting all the way down on Fox, babbling something about the D's having pulled of a coup d'etat. Something tells me that their professionals are starting to figure out their bacon is getting fried. No complacency, we work hard from here to Election Day, but now we're running before the wind once again, after being stuck in the doldrums.
Stephen Miller must get his news from the Borowitz Report..😂
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Calling it “the most crooked conspiracy in American history,” on Sunday Donald J. Trump and other Republicans accused Democrats of plotting to nominate a winning presidential candidate.
“I’ve seen the Democrats do some pretty evil things, but I never thought they’d choose a nominee with a chance of winning,” Trump said. “This should never be allowed to happen in our country.”
“What we are witnessing is no more and no less than a shameless scheme to mount a successful election campaign,” House Speaker Mike Johnson charged. “As God is my witness, this will not stand.”
Senator J.D. Vance attacked the Democrats’ “blatant use of strategy” and warned of more sinister machinations to come.
“In a matter of days, be prepared for them to announce that they’ve chosen a qualified and appealing VP candidate,” Vance said. “We Republicans would never do that.”
Damn, they accuse Dems of what they have been expert at for decades. The unmitigated gall is the reason I hate the very whiff of “conservative Republican.”
Yeah, we've been rowing the longboats, trying to get the ship into a prevailing wind, but we are out of the doldrums and ready to set sail. The seas ahead are wide and free, and we have a ship to get to port.....we must go down to the sea again.....

Love it.
You said on line exactly what I said to myself when I read it (after laughing my butt off, however).
The only thing that could be better than the R's feeling some campaign pain is when they taste the bitter dregs of a nice long draught of defeat.
Borowitz nailed this one and apparently the Republicans are feeling all the pain.
Damn, they accuse Dems of what they have been expert at for decades. The unmitigated gall is the reason I hate the very whiff of “conservative Republican.”
As a onetime sailor, I LOVE that image of running before the wind. We're not gonna get whacked with a boom either.

To take the analogy further, we're going into the Roaring Forties, and going around the Horn. We'll make it if we work together.
Uh-oh. I might have to start rereading Patrick O'Brian . . . after I get done rereading LORD OF THE RINGS
Damn, those doldrums are hard to take. The wind is so welcome.
