an urgent memo to the field of G.O.P. Presidential candidates, the
Republican National Committee chairman, Reince Priebus, praised them for
their relentless personal attacks on Hillary Clinton, but warned that
their hatred for the former Secretary of State might be “peaking too
early.”
Priebus called the candidates’ ongoing
evisceration of Clinton “magnificent,” but expressed his concern that
“no human beings, even an impressive group like yourselves, could
possibly sustain such a high intensity of throbbing hatred for an entire
year and a half.”
“Remember, this is a marathon, not a sprint,” he wrote. “You need to leave some hate in the tank.”
In the conclusion of his memo, Priebus advised the
candidates to take an occasional day off from hating Clinton so that
they could “return to despising her with renewed freshness and vigor.”
Responding to the R.N.C. directive, Sen. Ted Cruz
(R-Texas) said that he understood Priebus’s concerns, but assured him
that, at the end of the day, they were groundless. “Anyone who doesn’t
think I’m capable of spewing an infinite stream of vitriol and bile
doesn’t know what I’m made of,” he said, pointing with pride to his long
record of hating President Obama.

I love this guy.
Mitch McConnell promised his constituents and the country that President Obama would be a one-term president. How'd that work out? Even with a completely hostile Republican Congress, President Obama continues to get things done.
It's clear that he drives them crazy: they even resort to sending letters to Iran's Supreme Leader, their sworn enemy.
How much more desperate can they get?
If we keep following Andy, we'll be right on top of the inevitable crack up.
Onward!
