Way I see it, the GOP’s present mess is pretty well exemplified by the happenings in the House. If House GOP “moderates” wanted to effectively neuter the “Freedom Caucus” tomorrow, all they’d have to do is band together and offer their votes to whichever candidate the Dems favor. If they announced such a move tomorrow morning, by tomorrow afternoon you’d have Gohmert and the rest of the peanut gallery prepared to support whoever those “moderates” proposed so long as it was a Republican.

But it won’t happen because those “moderates” would sooner publicly cut off their dicks than vote for a Democrat. So instead we’ll get this grotesque bit of theater where they keep trying to propose candidates that satisfy the Suicide Caucus and keep watching them slapped down because they fail the purity test, while Boehner realizes that he can check out any time he likes, but he can never leave.
