It could just as easily be titled "GOP leadership struggles to contain an outbreak of sanity".
It is obvious to any sane observer that the GOP has no plans that do not revolve around cutting taxes for the billionaire class.
There is no GOP healthcare plan, no GOP economic plan, no GOP infrastructure plan.
Only fear based slogans and appeals to racism.
My congratulations to any Democrats who must negotiate with these people.

My response was, "Joe Biden received more votes in 2020 than any Presidential candidate in history. I cannot recall any media outlets asking GOP voters if the GOP should move back to the center. Why is that?"
The interviewer thanked me for my observation, and moved to a commercial break.

And if the GOP wins by the narrowest of margins it is a mandate from heaven.
