    I’d love to think maybe being on the receiving end of the GQP/MAGA cult will wake them up but it’s hard to imagine them growing a spine even for this

      That’s the Faustian bargain they made with Fox News: get a diehard base of crazies whipped into a frothy rage. The GOP is now held to the most radical purity standards partially because that outrage is exactly what draws in viewers.

      Couldn’t have happened to a scummier bag of assholes.
