Republicans, whatever that means, are in a constant process of shape shifting. I would like to say similar to the predator alien in the movie “Predator”. But absent a new civil war to free the slaves there is no consistent entity that is continuously observable. The alien in the movie had a consistent persona, set of behaviors and clear goal. The progressives are the alien: consistent, clear goals and occasionally reveal themselves when their cloaking device malfunctions. We see through the Republicans to the Progressives. So why do we continue to ask: where are the Republicans? They are right in front of us, transparent see through, shape shifting thing without solid definition that separates them in time and space from the Progressives.
