There's no excuse for why they've let the discourse shift so badly against them.

Of course there is.

Republican's actions and speech fits perfectly into the role of the heel.

They'll talk mad shit all day when it's relevant for attention, and then when nuts comes to butts they go full jabroni.

This way you think you have some form of representation but in reality they're meeting with "the enemy" in the locker room before the show rehearsing the script.
