Subject: Re: The Republican Party is Gone
That's why I refuse to refer to it as the "GOP". It has been gone for almost 10 years.

I have hesitated to use "cult", but I'm starting to think it may be appropriate. A cult of personality. As the convict said, he could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Ave and not lose a single vote. We have seen such populism in the past, and it never ended well.
