Good observation

"It's bad for Republicans because in the absence of any real leadership, the freaks fill the void and define the party," (Mark) McKinnon (Former McCain adviser) said.


I highlight this because no one has really mentioned the complete lack of leadership in the GOP. The GOP is being defined by folks who make profit off of filling that leadership void, Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity....

The emergence of "the crazy" really does indicate a collapse of party leadership. The sled dogs are pulling the runaway sled. (Alaska reference intentional.)

I mean, look at today's "rally." The Republican "leaders" are hoping the crazies will allow them to attach themselves onto it. They're not leading it.

  • This is such a good point, Mike. The GOP searching for crazies to attach to - love it!! It is very telling and alarming how this new generation of conservatives is so enamored of fringe movements. In the bigger picture, it may be the Democratic party that truly becomes more conservative - as in closer to the center.

  • The one problem is that you can't argue with crazy which puts the Dems in a somewhat difficult position.
