Republicans are getting queasy at the gruesome sight of their party
eating itself alive, savaging the brand in ways that will long resonate.
“Republicans being against sex is not good,” the G.O.P. strategist Alex
Castellanos told me mournfully. “Sex is popular.”
He said his party is “coming to grips with a weaker field than we’d all
want” and going through the five stages of grief. “We’re at No. 4,” he
said. (Depression.) “We’ve still got one to go.” (Acceptance.)
The contenders in the Hester Prynne primaries are tripping over one
another trying to be the most radical, unreasonable and insane candidate
they can be. They pounce on any traces of sanity in the other
candidates — be it humanity toward women, compassion toward immigrants
or the willingness to make the rich pay a nickel more in taxes — and try
to destroy them with it.
