Sullivan always had a toehold on the outside. Frum was cast aside like a trophy wife who lost her looks and would probably go right back in if invited. Brooks is too devoted to his ideology of sucking up to the powerful and castrating himself before the elites, and he threw his lot in with the GOP and won't easily accept that its higher brain functions are gone for good. <br /><br />Bobo keeps his Reasonable Conservative membership current with the occasional column like this or by going after low hanging fruit like the Grifta from Wasilla, but the very moment the GOP shows even a hint of getting its shit together, he'll dive right back into the Kool-Aid pool and start lobbing spitballs at hippies again as if none of this unpleasantness ever happened. Like, if an establishment-acceptable candidate wins any of the early primaries, he'll immediately proudly declare that the True Conservatives have won the war and the GOP is again the party of ideas, while throwing some mendacious shade at Hillary. Just watch.<br /><br />Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15368238520998130967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-59252112534219871572015-10-13T12:14:19.517-05:002015-10-13T12:14:19.517-05:00As the board game "Monopoly" as played g...As the board game "Monopoly" as played gave insight to Ayn Rand without reading the books.<br />When does "Both-Sider-Bingo get released? <br />I recall your, Brooks get mugged and tries to report it story.<br /><br />I have experienced some of this Bothsiderisn in the local paper opinion page. <br />Calling Benghazi Select Committee as, "Jockeying" as both sides are doing.<br />I think when the wealthy guy who bought the Republican rehab medicine and raise the price to from $10.00 to $4,000.00 a pill has allowed mental illness to grow out of control and is still in the infectious stage.<br />As the GOP ignore mental illness and defund most of its care.
