For the GOP, any woman will do

Interesting tidbit from Dave Weigel:


Adam Serwer recently noted Trump is struggling to make a culture war case against Joe Biden:
For the past few months, Trump and the conservative propaganda apparatus have struggled to make the old race-and-gender-baiting rhetoric stick to Biden. But voters don’t appear to believe that Biden is an avatar of the “radical left.” They don’t think Biden is going to lock up your manhood in a “testicle lockbox.”
 But Republicans can be relied on to use scare tactics when it comes to Democratic women. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez follows Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton as bogeywomen of the right. They'll keep doing it as long as they think it's successful.
