Not to mention the even more important "centrifugal tendencies".

OT- Republicain centrifugal tendencies
"Simply put: Armband religion is killing the Republican Party. And, the
truth -- as long as we're setting ourselves free -- is that if one were to
eavesdrop on private conversations among the party intelligentsia, one
would hear precisely that.

Which is to say, the GOP has surrendered its high ground to its lowest
brows. In the process, the party has alienated its non-base constituents,
including other people of faith (those who prefer a more private approach
to worship), as well as secularists and conservative-leaning Democrats who
otherwise might be tempted to cross the aisle."

We can only hope the RNC collapses. Same with the snowflake wing of the DNC. Out of the ashes will rise a sensible middle of the road party.

Yes, I am dreaming, you clowns that sit and scream "hell yes, that's right" at your MSNBC or Fox news will never meet in the middle.

It won't happen unless the Republicans split first.
