The Repubicans are not out of leaders and potential leaders - not at all
You recall Adam (Opie) Putnam from Florida? He was in the number two slot in the House. He resigned all his leadership posts a couple of years ago - when it was clear they were going down big time. There's no doubt this guy's views on policy are anathema to us, but he is not one bit stupid and is a reasonably charismatic guy (if you like the Calvinistic, right wing, hateful, smug certitude that is the hallmark of Repubican 'conservatives').

Mike Pence is another one.

The Diaz-Bilart brothers.

Marsha Blackburn (okay, I threw up in my mouth a little)

Zach Wamp

Eric (snicker) Cantor

....... ya know .......

Hey! .... Patrick McHenry

....... yeahyanno .......

Ah whatthefuck .....

Michele Bachmann

Hahahahaha







Yanno ...... they really ARE in deep shit. :)

2. The real problem for the Republicans is that the philosophy of
Republicanism is subjectively constructed resulting in values that are grossly out of step with the realities of societies needs. The self-centeredness results in policies based upon greed, cruelty and domination. Their basic cognitive processes are very similar to those of religious leaders. They do not want to be bothered with the necessities of scientifically and objectively acquired facts.

In a word or two, Republicanism was doomed to fail from the start. The Earth and its inhabitants cannot survive on the tenets of Republicanism.
