When the Globetrotters basket ball exhibition team goes out on tour, they take with them, a second team who almost always looses.

• The Globetrotters travel with a second team, who almost inevitably loses. This has been a part of the Globetrotters experience since 1952, when Saperstein asked Philadelphia Sphas owner Red Klotz to take his Eastern Basketball League team on the road. They were renamed the Washington Generals and served as a "straight man" to the Globetrotters antics, directed to attempt to play a serious game of basketball. Sometimes the Generals changed their name and uniforms to become the "Boston Shamrocks," "Baltimore Rockets," "Atlantic City Seagulls," and "New Jersey Reds," but it was always the same team. In 1995, the Generals name was retired. The patsy team is now called the New York Nationals.


• But the games are real. The Generals (or whatever they were calling themselves at the time) have beat the Globetrotters six times. In 1971, the Globetrotters lost track of a huge lead and started doing their usual tricks. The Generals ran up the score, and won the game on a buzzer-beater shot. Klotz said the crowd looked "like we'd just killed Santa Claus."
...

The purpose of the second team is to act the straight man, being the opposition who is made fun of why the Globetrotters display their awesome basket ball skills.

The team is called the Washington Generals, and even win they win, they lose....


Have the Establishment Republicans become the "Always Lose" shill for the Democratic Party?

Is this why the Democrats and their allies in the MSM pulled out all of the stops to destroy the TEA Patriots?

Is this why Candidate Trump, with his contempt for Political Correctness, is so far ahead in the polls?

Shouldn't we make a List of the Establishment Shill Republicans, and quietly replace them with TEA Patriots?

Just a thought....

Where have you been?  We've been working this for six years now!!!

My only objection to this concept is how can clowns be straight men?

Ask Biden, he knows.

In 2014, the Republicans made huge gains in Congress. Took control from the Democrats...

And what have they done with it?

Did Congress Impeach and Remove Obama from office for his violations of his oath of office and the Constitution in the refusing to implement, and changing my executive order, hence violating the Constitution and Congressional Immigration Law?

Did they invalidate Obamacare as a Legislative Bill which the Author, Gruber, now admits was written and presented under deliberate deceptive and false premises?

And Add the fact that the ACA has been changed numerous times by Obama, which, as Chief executive, is again, outside his Constitutional powers and an Impeachable Offense.

Did they Arrest and Imprison Louis Lerner and Eric Holder for their Contempt of the LAW?

Did they even stop the Executive Branch from seizing from Congress the Right to Authorize Treaties in the Iranian Nuke Deal?

What have John Boehner and Mitch McConnell done with the power we gave them, other than rubber stamp the Lefties agenda?

Like the OP says, Shills.

Actually I see some irony here. The establishment Republicans sacrificed their souls and shunned Conservatism so they would not become irrelevant and the result is they are irrelevant.
