The GOP Civil War Is Just Beginning
Formerly conciliatory Trump skeptics are backing away from the president-elect.
By Fred Kaplan NOV. 15 2016 4:48 PM

A mere week after its election-night triumph, the Republican Party is fracturing more deeply and sharply than anyone had anticipated. Donald Trump’s simultaneous appointments of Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus and alt-right publisher Stephen Bannon—an establishment moderate and a white-nationalist renegade—to co-equal positions set the stage for what promises to be all-consuming internecine warfare in the White House and beyond.

1. There is no need to see a silver lining in every cloud but, yes, I think this is what will happen.

As much damage as will be done by Trump and his Deplorables, this will only further diminish the GOP. Trump's win was a fluke. The GOP will be as much a victim as everyone else.

3. #notmypresident's administration will be a house of cards

Rotten to the core with constant internecine warfare between various groups.

A stiff wind from mother Russia, China or NK will blow it all down in an heartbeat and expose the rats.

2. Sorry but I have no confidence in feckless establishment Republicans.

Not putting my eggs in that basket.

4. Unfortunately, that civil war only leads to an even less competent Trump administration.

The Trump brothers making foreign policy, and Ivanka deciding economic policy. There is an almost incomprehensible level of ignorance at the center of the new administration.

God help us all!

7. The spineless bastards will bow down to their newly choosen one

We are in a heap of shit and we must hold our Representatives to the fire. They will be needing all the support we can muster.
A fire wall of resistance is going to be required and we need to start working on 2018 elections asap.

8. After browsing Twitter last week I think there's more than a GOP civil war at stake.
