An OP-ED from FOX News, that liberal news outlet:
America, you're watching the beginning of the end of the Republican Party | Fox News
The beginning of the end of the Republican Party has started. On Friday, I told you the Republican Party is dying. Then, yesterday, Ross Douthat in the New York Times echoed my key point.
Mine was that the Republican leaders in Washington would see the decline of Donald Trump as proof that they need do nothing to change. Like the Bourbons of France, they’d forget nothing and learn nothing.
On Sunday, Douthat wrote, “In an unhealthy system, the kind I suspect we inhabit, the Republicans will find a way to crush Trump without adapting to his message. In which case the pressure the Donald has tapped will continue to build — and when it bursts, the G.O.P. as we know it may go with it.”...
...In short, the GOP has become so incestuous it continues to hemorrhage and will die. It cannot adapt because the key consultants it has shaping its future are wedded to the capital that comes from not changing.
It should be eye opening to the Republican leaders in Washinton that Ross Douthat and I have come to the same conclusion — they will not recognize the need to change and will therefore die.
Oh, I'm not so sure I believe that. There are plenty of Whigs still out there.
And other Conservatives will claim that Erik Erikson is just tasting sour grapes after the kerfluffle with the Trumpublican.
But what I do find interesting is that FOX allowed this Op-ed to go to print. That is the real story here.
Could anyone imagine FOX allowing such a write-up during the Bush 43 presidency?
There are two sentences in the quote above that are hyperlinked. It would be helpful for you to read them as well.
Discuss.
