Today’s G.O.P. is, after all, very much a minority party. It retains some limited ability to obstruct the Democrats, but has no ability to make or even significantly shape policy.
Beyond that, Republicans have become embarrassing to watch. And it doesn’t feel right to make fun of crazy people. Better, perhaps, to focus on the real policy debates, which are all among Democrats.
Embarrassing, to say the least. Everything about Republicans seems staged – and staged badly. And while the tea parties are worth a good laugh, I have no idea what they’re supposed to accomplish.
Seriously, what is the point?
