Reclaiming the Republican Party

If we are forced to have political parties at all, it works slightly better if there are two relatively inclusive parties with a healthy spectrum of views within each -- including moderates.   Frankly I long for the "old" Republican party that was actually functional. Unfortunately, except for an occasional refreshing exception...the current  party is a clueless mess.

Tom Friedman (as he usually does) wrote a nice summation in his Sunday piece this week.
