Reading Ed Kilgore’s offerings this morning is really depressing. The Republicans are working on a toxic trifecta of opposing the Voting Rights Act in Alabama, complaining about blacks voting in elections in Mississippi, and adopting Mitt Romney’s self-deportation immigration policy in DC. This is not good.
This party has become unmoored. I’m not old enough to find this party as recognizably American. This is a Jim Crow party now. That’s where it is being led, even though I don’t believe it’s where the leadership wants to go. But, Eric Cantor just got guillotined, so what leadership thinks doesn’t seem to matter anymore.
I have a hard time believing that the Republicans are going to have the good election night in November that everyone seems to think they will have. Things are too out of joint. The party is at war with itself.
