This is a member of the MSM trying to demoralize Republicans.
It might also be an indication of a RINO trying to cast doubt on conservative leadership.

This is what the MS/Drive-by Media does. It throws as much chit at a wall as it can and hopes that what sticks will keep you riveted to, and hanging on their every word.
The Republican Party is Dead! Long Live the Republican Party.
Or if you prefer,"Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia".
Cast doubt on GOP leadership? Oh Lord....where is the leader? Gimme a name....
