It's all happening just as certain prognosticators said. Conservatives
have responded to Romney's loss by saying that he wasn't nearly
conservative enough. The mainstream Republicans realize this is not so,
people like Christ Christie and Jeb Bush are giving these speeches
where they say things like "no longer can we write off entire chunks of
the populace" and "the face of the Republican Party should be the face
of every American." The hardcore right is having none of it. Heck,
they won't even invite gay Republican groups to the CPAC conference.
They are rallying around outsider figures like Ted Cruz and Rand Paul,
digging in and erecting ideological barriers, and talk more about civil
war with their fellow Republicans than with the Democrats. If a
politician shows any tolerance of gay marriage, gun control, or
immigration reform, they are branded as traitor to the Teabagger cause.
The Teabaggers are supposed to be all about taxes, but they don't even
talk about taxes any more, all they talk about is guns and the unlimited
access to them they desire.
2016 -- massive primary slugfest between Jeb Bush and Rand Paul, with the bruised winner going down against Hillary.
