The Republican Clown College And The Pending Debacle Of Upcoming Primary Debates

Is the primary going to be a problem for Republicans? "Party officials are growing worried about a wide-open nominating contest likely to feature a historically large and diverse field. ... With no clear front-runner and Bush so far unable to consolidate his path to the nomination — his fumbles over the Iraq war and his brother’s legacy further exposed his vulnerabilities — the GOP’s internecine battle could stretch well into the spring of 2016. This could cost presidential aspirants tens of millions of dollars; pull them far to the right ideologically, from hot-button social issues to foreign policy; and jeopardize their general-election chances." Philip Rucker and Jenna Johnson in The Washington Post
