Howie Carr Demolishes Jim Lyons, My Old Arlington School Chum

 

Howie Carr: MassGOP is a dumpster fire

 

Jim Lyons hasn’t earned top spot in state party

On Lyons’ watch this year, an incumbent sheriff was defeated and the GOP couldn’t retain the offices of both sheriff and DA on Cape Cod, where Republican incumbents were retiring. Since Lyons won the job in 2019 (after his own failure to get re-elected as a state rep), the party has also lost about a dozen seats in the Legislature.

Complete, utter failure, across the board. And yet, Jim Jones Lyons could still be re-elected, because his future will be decided by state committee members who are even worse at electoral politics than the leader of their pathetic death cult.

The problem is, the disappearance of the Republican party affects everyone who works for a living here. Consider mail-in voting, which killed Republicans across the board. Beyond filing a frivolous suit against something that the Legislature had enacted into law, the state GOP did nothing about the new reality.  https://www.bostonherald.com/2022/12/07/howie-carr-massgop-a-dismal-dumpster-fire/?utm_email=E454C415948D740FF484A4358A&g2i_eui=LlvAMyLAZmItAlKLX0rby12vwNY9aLeN&g2i_source=newsletter&lctg=E454C415948D740FF484A4358A&active=yesD&utm_source=listrak&utm_medium=email&utm_term=https%3a%2f%2fwww.bostonherald.com%2f2022%2f12%2f07%2fhowie-carr-massgop-a-dismal-dumpster-fire%2f&utm_campaign=boston-morning-memo&utm_content=curated
