Right at this second, the Republican Party may be having its worst weekend since the Saturday Night Massacre in 1973.
Except the drama is taking place off-stage this time.
It appears that — instead of an avalanche of telegrams flooding the White House after Nixon fired Watergate special prosecutor Archibald Cox — the GOP is grappling with its death throes in private meetings, frantic conference calls and off-the-record one-on-ones.
Republicans are desperately trying to figure out how not to split into two irreconcilable factions (with half the participants arguing that it would be preferable to lose 2016 in order to rebound by 2020). How we Democratic cats are loving every minute of the sturm und drang.
And the competing headlines are hilarious: "Trump: I Don't Think GOP Has To Be Unified" on one line, "Shock Poll: Trump, Clinton in Statistical Tie in Georgia" on the next.
Would we still rather be Us than Them? Oh, totally. We cats PURR.
