It is positively scary that the GOP looks like putting forward a nominee of the quality of the current front runners.

Good grief.

Always before now they seemed to choose the best of a bad bunch. That's what D&O assumed would happen this time. But there's no sign of it yet. Carson emerges alongside Trump.

Good grief x2.

Now it looks like the rational voters have left the Republican party. So the rump now selects the leader.

Looks to me like a generational problem on the right. The establishment is going to have to abandon its voting base and build a new one from scratch. They are going to have to let the Tea Party and the Talk Radio folks go. Their road leads nowhere.

There's a place in the party spectrum for people who think of themselves as fiscally conservative and socially liberal, as discussed previously.

GOP problems with denial

Most people want to learn from their mistakes, even if it means they need to admit they were wrong.

This isn't the case with many political GOPers.

Look at Iraq, ANY thoughtful person will admit attacking Iraq was & is a disaster! The cost in blood & treasure continues... to what purpose?
That debacle has totally turned that area upside down.
Iran became stronger, once Saddam wasn't there to keep them in check.

The economic depression we suffered, yet many republicans wouldn't help by voting for the bail out or saving the auto industry. Yet they still claim it was a mistake...

Obamacare, they have voted over 50 times to kill it, yet haven't offered an alternative.

Climate change rears its ugly head regularly, yet they deny humans contribute to the problem.

Many of them deny science!

How do you deal with people like this?

Joe Biden made it a point to say 'republicans' aren't the enemy. Easy for him to say.
Consider the republicans Obama & Hillary deal with...
a H U G E difference.

I don't know how the republican party stays viable.
Its sooo bad Bohner couldn't take them anymore.
Lets see how they treat Paul Ryan.
