The crazies don’t run the party, but they are powerful enough that anyone who draws their ire will spend all of his or her time trying to keep their position.

Nor can Chris Christie switch parties, since his budget cuts mean that the Democratic base now hates him. He can only be a Republican, which means he has to get along within the party.

Not to Godwin myself but wasn’t this exactly the situation that the Nazis had in German circa 1933?

Also Dark, why doesn’t he just do what’s right and get voted out of office if the public is too crazy to vote for what is good for them?
