A few days before this week’s midterm elections, which saw Democrats run the table and reclaim control of the House and Senate, The Wall Street Journal’s nonsubstantive Peggy Noonan said this was exactly what she was hoping for. Unfortunately for her and other terrible people like her, she got what she wanted but not for the reasons she thinks.
In an Oct. 29 column, Noonan, who has a penchant for never naming a single source, no matter how useless the source’s insight, wrote that a Democrat blowout is just what the Republican Party needs. “If MAGA takes it full in the face on Tuesday, it will begin to shatter on the state level, where it matters,” she said. “In that shattering, room will be created in which not fully MAGA figures can start to rise. The Republican Party has to get healthy again.”
