Bruni: GOP Now Party Of ‘Wing Nuts, Disrupters, Brats’
Frank Bruni in the New York Times writes of the destruction of the Republican Party.
I’m not saying that the Republican Party alone has wing nuts, disrupters, brats. Too often that’s the impression left by journalists ruing the G.O.P.’s unruly ways.
But Democrats over recent years haven’t been bedeviled by internal dissent and rendered dysfunctional to the extent that Republicans have. They’ve kept something of a lid on things and maintained a semblance of order.
Click here for reuse options!Not so with Republicans, who have become the party of brinkmanship, the party of imminent credit defaults, the party of threatened shutdowns, the party that won’t pass a proper transportation bill, the party that is suddenly demonizing the Export-Import Bank, the party of “no,” the party of ire, the party that casts even someone as unquestionably conservative as John Boehner in the role of apostate, simply because he knows the difference between fights that can be won and those that can’t, between standing on principle and shooting yourself in the foot.

They embraced the fringe and the fringe is now making them the fringe, irony as cause and effect. Cringe from the fringe.

Now, is the Gop going to do anything about it, or just let itself self destruct and hurt America in the process? This is where and when the real character of those in the Gop will be revealed.

they want to bring down the government so they can rant about how bad it is – these idiots would back a coup – The speaker is 3rd in line –

The GOP has known this for some time, but were reluctant to do anything about it while it was winning them elections. They courted Christian fundamentalists, racists, and gun extremists as voters, but also as candidates and media personalities. Now they run the show. They tried to pull the reins on the extremists in 2013 when they did an election autopsy that showed they needed to change. The only problem is anyone that speaks against the Tea Party line gets castigated by the right wing media and primary voters. Good luck Republicans, you certainly built it.

Republican U.S. Representative Kevin McCarthy, the leading candidate to be the next House speaker, evidently wants us to go directly to WWIII.
