I thought the title meant the mayor was scorching the paper after the paper endorsed Harris.

No, the mayor endorsed Harris in the paper by scorching Trump.

Confusing headline.

Such a weird way to title it

They were just too busy being flabbergasted by a in-office R endorsing a D nominee lmao

They also had to cram sensationalist words like "scorching" in there, because apparently the Venn diagram of the WWE and American politics is nearly a circle.

Looks like they were so absolutely dead set on starting the sentence with ‘gop mayor’ that any semblance of clarity left the building

Which is still weird because "GOP Mayor endorses Harris in scorching op-ed for newspaper" really ain't too far off

I read it the right way initially but I see how it could easily be misinterpreted

casmael

Yeah I feel I only understood it because I had seen the headline (more sensibly worded) elsewhere

It’s just scorching because everything in Arizona is very hot this time of year.

Get ready for “RINO” for any gop member endorsing Harris

just more projection from the GQP

Aren't most of them RINOs?

How so?

That's being picky about 'republican' and 'conservative' as these names get further distanced from their meanings. In some sense. The NAME of a certain party is the main qualifier if you are this or that, not a policy or a thought behind it. While republicanism is against monarchy (and first-day-dictators), conservatism too is hard to imagine in the way of proactively undoing established policies to celebrate something that old that it's new for most living citizen, so it's not conserving but introducing a new reactionary twist. It's just a passing thought I don't think I captured completely.

I get what you’re saying but I think you’re running into a little issue of “lower case republican” vs. “upper case Republican.”

andrew_bidlaw

That's true. Methinks, it may or may not be a little stone in the shoe of their current campaign if taken further in some more productive angle

Interesting I’d have to think about that.
