Finally, it would be a mistake to treat the GOP leadership structure as a single rational actor, because it plainly is not. To use the most strictly correct academic language, some of the shit they do, it just don’t make no goddamned sense.

This is interesting in itself, because one of the few criticisms I could never levy at earlier iterations of the GOP is “disorganized and rudderless”.

At the very least, there are powerful elements within the GOP that can no longer agree on the basic GOP agenda. This is not yet the GOP civil war I’m eagerly anticipating, but it is a big step in that direction.
