The Not So Divided GOP?

The GOP is I admit a family that bickers at times. It is sometimes one of those Thanksgiving dinner with the family you would like to avoid at times. Different faction and different strains of conservatives calling each other RINOS every five seconds. Still it is folly to overstate this. Contentions had a good post on this here.

I like this last paragraph

The fable of Republican divisiveness was a convenient narrative for pundits who aimed to chase out challengers from primaries (e.g., Marco Rubio) or convince themselves that the Republicans couldn’t really seize the initiative. Those divisions on the Right (otherwise known as healthy primary competition to find the best candidates) are slight compared to the food fight that has broken out on the Left. There Democrats and their blog cheerleaders-turned-vicious-critics are forming the circular firing squad, arguing over whether to dump health care altogether, and trying to figure out how to restyle themselves as populists. (Mostly by condescendingly acknowledging that there are ”angry” people out there, it seems.) You can see why they’d rather concoct a tale of Republican strife.
