President Obama Just Showed Us How to Fix the Republican Party

"The president ran down all the symptoms of the prion disease that has been afflicting the Republican Party—and the conservative movement that is its life force—ever since the party ate all the monkeybrains in 1980. The candidates. The advisers. The talk-radio goons and the direct-mail charlatans. The slogans that pass for policies and the policies that make no sense to anyone who actually lives an actual life in the actual United States of America in the actual year of 2016. And the idiots in The Base who swallow it all whole until they can't express their economic insecurity in any other way except with a TRUMP THAT B*TCH T-shirt. The president presented an obvious and undeniable diagnosis. He framed El Caudillo del Mar-A-Lago as not an aberration of the conservative mind, but as its inevitable culmination."
