Good to see the Repugnant Establishment really is the sell-out gang of go-alongs to get-alongs we all thought they were.

Craven surrender isn't going to save their butts.

The old GOP is gone. Either a new populist GOP emerges that captures the votes of the white working class or the entire party will simply shrink to a sliver party that merely negotiates for the remaining plutocrats.

It was pointed out in the late 40's that no reasonable person could see how the GOP could survive: in a small factory town there would be 95 Democrats to 5 Republicans, typically the plant manager and the local bank owner.

But because of Dwight Eisenhower, Barry Goldwater, and then Ronald Reagan, the GOP not only survived but prospered.

The opportunistic looting of the GOP political capital by the worthless Bush family and various other seedy characters destroyed all of that. I guess every movement decomposes that way.

So the only way this charming little amalgamation of disaffected Southern Democrats and Northern Plutocrats survives is they bring the old cold state Democrats into the fold before the last of them dies off. People in places like Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan voted for the freak Hussein because they thought Romney would let them starve in the dark. And they might be right. And if so, the GOP is dead and gone.

Either they fix that problem or....lights out.
