First, they said there would be a crackup following the collapse of the USSR due to the fact that anti-communism was what held the movement together. Over a decade later, we're going full tilt.

Then, they said Gingrich would scare off the moderate wing and the coalition would collapse. Nearly a decade to the day of the Revolution of 1994, the party is winning at the polls as good as ever.

Now, you've got the former governor of New Jersey who shall remain nameless as well as this dunce saying variants of the same thing again. Anyone want to place bets on the validity of the assessment given the history?

EVERY party, EVERY movement, and EVERY Family has a little fighting now and then, and it usually proves harmless in the long term. Since when did healthy debates become bitter infighting? Folks have their sensitivity cranked up too much.

It's the same mindset that cannot understand why G.W. encourages his cabinet to bounce off each other in spirited, and yes, sometimes heated dialogue. They take that as a sign no one is control. They assume nothing can possibly come together, everything is in disarray.

IMO, it is the Left in serious trouble and I can state why. they've lost their hold on principle. Morality. They have positions they hold deeply, true, but nothing is more important than power. For power they will not just compromise but ABANDON those principles.

That is why they are on the verge of collapse. When denied power, the very thing they defied their beliefs for, they are left with nothing to fill the void.
