Marcus, the Republican Party is imploding thanks to a handful of zealots, inbreds and lunatics. What we are witnessing is similiar to an eerily premonition from President Eishenhower back in 1954. Rich Oil men funding an anti-government political party, sadly this was his party that has turned into what he thought was stupid. I love how the Koch's are trying to disconnect themselves to their Frankenstein now that they realized their financial interests might be dented by the lunatics they have been funding.
"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things. Among them are H. L. Hunt (you possibly know his background), a few other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other areas.5 Their number is negligible and they are stupid."
