I like Brian Beutler’s piece, and I agree with it. In particular, I like the part about the carpet not being big enough to cover the room. I think the Republican Party has outlived its usefulness. I don’t see it morphing back into something socially acceptable to decent people. I don’t see it organically fixing itself the way you would expect a losing party to. It just needs to die. I don’t see why the GOP should even be considered a major party in Massachusetts or California. Why attach that label to yourself if you’re running for office in those states?
Let the South and the prairies have the GOP. Give everyone else something real to choose.
