There are two things going on within the Republican Party. One is the kind of institutional collapse of authority in the Republican Party so that as you know, on immigration, the leadership of the party wanted to make a deal. Most senators, most of the leaders in the House, but they cant because theres no structure. This is not Newt Gingrichs Republican Party anymore. The second piece is that there is this extreme wing within the party, the Tea Party, which really believes that America is going to hell in a hand basket – and tomorrow. You know, as Ted Cruz said at the Values Voter Summit, weve got two years to stop this country from plunging into oblivion. Well, if you use rhetoric like that, if you work people up like that, its very tough to see how you could compromise. globalpublicsquare.blogs.cnn/2013/10/18/zakaria-rhetoric-a-problem-for-gop/
