Tom Nichols: If ‘Cult’ Republican Party Wins in November It Will ‘Paralyze the Country’

RUSH EXCERPT:

NICHOLS: “What it means for Congress is that, if Republicans take the house and the Senate, or either of those bodies, the Republican Party has completely collapsed as anything like an instrument of government or even a real political party. It’s a cult of personality. Where, not all meters of the party are either cowards, or true believers. When I think most of them are just cowards they’re not gonna stand up to their own primary voters. They are not coming and keeping their jobs. They aren’t going to come and leave the emerald city and go home. And they will do anything to say where they are. And that means, when their country is, that they will gladly sow chaos. Be guided by their own French. Rather than even govern the country. The Republicans talk about policy, they don’t really have any policies other than this kind of will to power, by feeding red b to their own ways. Whether it’s abortion, or immigration, or anything else. And in the mirror, it won’t take that long for the institutions of government to seriously seize the function after a while because you cannot get nominees through that kind of a process. You can’t run institutions and departments with that kind of process, and I think David is absolutely right, they will just launch investigations and all kinds of other trauma league and things that appeal to their veins but will essentially paralyzed the country sooner or later.”
