re: #164 Killgore Trout

The thing you keep blankly floating over is that the GOP establishment is now batshit insane. It’s not just the Tea Party types— it took the GOP establishment to engineer the game of chicken on default, it takes the GOP establishment to hold up an insane number of appointments. The GOP mainstream is extremist.

The real ‘mainstream’ should be someone like Huntsman— who would still be wildly to the ‘right’ economically— but he’s way out on the fringe.
