The Republican hierarchy cannot get over itself. Regardless of the fact that it has consistently lost elections since 2008, the hierarchy still seems to consider itself as being God's gift to American politics. In 2010, after a crushing defeat over the ObamaCare issue, it was the Tea Parties and the party conservatives who presided over a complete rejuvenation of the party and the take-back of the House of Representatives; yet, the hierarchy has done everything it can possibly do to encourage those Tea Party Members and party conservatives to pack up and get out.
The recent attacks by Boehner and others against the Tea Parties and the conservative elements within the Republicans can result in only only thing: a continued split in party unity and the probable formation of a third political party. In such a scenario, the party can only look forward to continued and deepening losses at the polls.
One of these days, the "hierarchy" is going to realize that they have become the "lowerarchy" and they will have nobody to blame but themselves. In the meantime, the growing conservative movement in the country is having less and less to do with the Republican Higher Command, as the polls already indicate. If the damned Central Command is so happy with the Progressives, they should be the ones to pack up and get out.
