Opinion by Jennifer Rubin | Recent midterm debates prove it: This election cycle is not about competing policy ideas or agendas. It’s about two parties operating in entirely different political worlds.
, “no, Senator, I don’t think it’s okay for a 10-year-old girl to be raped and have to carry the seed of her rapist. No, I don’t think it’s okay for you to make decisions for women and girls.” Rubio looked utterly overwhelmed.Put differently, debates allow Democrats to present themselves as a legitimate party trying to fashion rational solutions to real problems. Meanwhile, Republicans show they couldn’t care less about all that governing business.
If voters in less than three weeks select Republicans, they cannot claim ignorance of their Trump idolatry, their cruel views on abortion, their assault on government and their refusal to stand by democratic values. It’s nihilism vs. the center left. Take your pick.
