ZMan:
Soldiers grumble about the commanding officers all the time. This is normal and probably healthy, but it is a different thing than trashing the reputation of your company to customers or starting a website to air the company’s dirty laundry.
That comes to mind reading this post in the New York Times by the Republican governor of Ohio, Mike DeWine. This guy has taken to the pages of a publication that regularly slanders his party and his colleagues, in order to help them trash the standard bearer of his party in the coming election. The only thing he did not do is endorse Kamala Harris and call Trump a Nazi.
The reason he is doing this is the same reason the bad salesman trashes his company in front of a client, or the bad employee complains about his boss. That bad salesman wants the client to think he is a good guy, not like his company. The whiny employee wants everyone to think the problem is the boss and not her. DeWine. like all Republicans, wants you to know he is not like his party.
