GOP is more and more becoming Whig-like

This afternoon I feel a need to decompress so I won’t be banging away at the keyboard for very long. If you don’t know to what or whom I refer below, I am sorry. I think most people who keep up with political news will recognize what I have to say. I just don’t feel like spoon-feeding today.

I will say though that after this week of seeing the opposition party at what unfortunately appears to be their finest it seems the Republican party seems to be headed headlong toward self-destruction.

It isn’t just that GOP congressional members at the height of their biggest defeat in at least 40 years did their best spoiled brat act. It isn”t that half of the GOP seems to have joined the “bat s**t crazy” wing of their party by egging on the nuts to violence. It isn’t that the GOP continues to excommunicate its best and brightest such as David Frum when given a cold taste of truth.

No it is all that and more. This very well could be the prelude to a “Whig moment” for the Republican party. Maybe that is what it needs to get on track or perhaps to let the more thoughtful members move to the Democratic party while the remainder form their own Party of Nuts. Personally, I prefer the former option, for either of the first two options.

One can reason with those who are sane and listen. I don’t even want to think about the other alternative.
