Less than a year after a sweeping electoral triumph, Republicans are on the verge of ceasing to function as a national political party.
The most powerful and crippling force at work in the once-hierarchical GOP is anger, directed as much at its own leaders as anywhere else.
First, a contingent of several dozen conservative House members effectively forced Speaker John A. Boehner (Ohio) to resign rather than face a possibly losing battle to hold on to his job. Now they have claimed House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (Calif.), who had been considered the favorite to replace Boehner until he announced Thursday that he is dropping out of the race.
With no obvious replacement for Boehner in sight, “it is total confusion — a banana republic,” said Rep. Peter T. King (R-N.Y.). “Any plan, anything you anticipate — who knows what’ll happen? People are crying, they don’t have any idea how this will unfold, at all.”

Now look what you bad old Freepers did when you went and challenged the GOPe leadership!
You wouldn't quit beating on the Boo Hoo ... and now look what you went and did ... ping!
Duh! This is a leadership who promised to oppose Obama if only they were in control. Instead, they gave Obama everything he wanted.
Both parties need to do this every now and then.
Sorry, but I can't help it, I laugh every time I read that line.
This is how things are supposed to work. It was an excellent day for the Republican party.
Meanwhile, the Democratics are sailing smoothly. Their establishment candidate is under criminal investigation, they’re running an ‘independent socialist’ and their frontrunner isn’t even running. Just another day...
We’re “falling apart” because we wanted a slobbering drunk to be gone as “leader”, and didny want a like-minded RINO to replace him?
Now we know what’s wrong with WaPo...they leave their flawed leaders in place...obviously.
They shouldn’t bitch about our untidy house until the cleaning is finished!
Can the gop function?
God I hope not. For what good they’ve done, we’d be better off with them not functioning.
I’ll take chaos over oppression any day.
They can’t screw us while they’re fighting among themselves.
Says it all right there.
The Post would have reported the same way during the American Revolution.
So now within a few months of Trump announcing the rino leftists in the GOPe have basically collapsed under the weight of their own incompetence under pressure from the resurgent TEA PARTY and Trump supporters...
A memorial service for the Republican Party Establishment will be held Oct. 31 at the Lincoln Memorial, where it will be interred. May it’s evil soul burn in Hell.
Me too! If they’re crying, it just illustrates what we’ve objected to for years: they’re a bunch of pussies!
Karen Tumulty, impeachment wars spearcatcher for Clinton, now a concern troll for the GOPe.
These people really need to have some one give them a swift kick in the ass each morning as they walk into the capital building to shake them back into reality. Crying over this and their beloved House! They could care less about their constituents and the country but crying over this! My God we have some real head cases in Washington it seems.
I hope the conservatives continue to stick together and raise more hell than a pet coon on speed!
