One more thing, which is I think you really misunderstand something about modern-day ‘republicanism’. They are at war. Democrats seem to think it’s a war with Al Qaeda. It’s not. They’re at war with you (Dems).
I hope things ease up, with the torch being passed to the next generation, post-partisanship, etc. Old-school respectable Republicans have distanced themselves or left the tent. The rest won’t go quietly, I can assure you.
