.MaddowBlog: In theory, Trump's scandal-plagued EPA administrator is campaigning for Senate on a pitch doomed to fail. In practice, he might very well end up on Capitol Hill.
a criminal defense attorney to help advise him in May 2018. Two months later, he resigned under a cloud of scandal.The Republican, who formerly served as a state attorney general, now hopes to parlay this extraordinary recent history into a Senate campaign, and his opening pitch to GOP primary voters is that they should vote for him because journalists took note of his alleged misconduct — which in Pruitt’s mind, necessarily means his misconduct wasn’t real.
Pruitt, of course, isn’t the only one thinking along these lines. In fact, the only member of Team Trump who’s as scandal-tarnished as Pruitt — aside from the former president himself, of course —. And what’s he up to? Wouldn’t you know it, the Montana Republican also recently launched a congressional campaign.
In theory, effectively saying, “Vote for me because people you don’t like criticized me” seems like a pitch destined to fail. In practice, folks like Pruitt and Zinke have a sense of what the GOP base wants to hear, and they might very well end up on Capitol Hill anyway.
