The two most powerful institutions of the modern Republican Party clashed Sunday, over the politics of immigration and, specifically, using a government shutdown to block President Obama’s executive action on deportation. Rush Limbaugh traveled to the confines of Fox News to debate one of the network’s few sober voices, Chris Wallace, for his first visit to the right-wing network in five years.

Their conflict laid bare the enduring chasm in the party that won big in the 2014 but can’t figure out what to do with its victory. As GOP leaders prepare to try to mollify the right with a spending bill that funds the Department of Homeland Security only through March, but the rest of the government through next September, Limbaugh showed no sign of accepting the compromise.
