Maybe the GOPers ought to read a little Yeats:

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

They've got the passionately intense worst, that's for sure.

He'll be great.

Insurance fraud, car theft, arson...anything to get ahead in business.
He'll be a pro-business moderate one day, a thumping conservative the next - depending on who he's speaking to and which way the wind is blowing.

So long as he can dance for the interests above him on his claw to the top, he'll do anything. Just happens that he doesn't have to pretend to have scruples dancing for the Republican party, as he would for the Democratic party.

I can remember watching him cry after he spent all that money to topple Gray Davies - and lost the Republican nomination for Governor to the Gropenator. I don't think he even gathered enough support to make it to the top five contenders in the Republican field for the primary.

Haele

Ha. He is drooling over the possibility.
