Republicans declare war on their own

Commentary: Republicans declare war on their own | The Detroit News | detroitnews.com
"That makes sense to those whose sole goal is winning a majority in Congress rather than changing the course of government policy.
Seen from the outside, though, it sounds like the professional politicians are saying that the only way to win is to pick more candidates like the insiders.
Hearing that message, the reaction of many Republican and conservative voters is, "Why bother?"

The Republican establishment can act as mature party leaders of a national political party, or they can protect their own self-interest."
