Katrina vanden Heuvel is an opinion writer for the Washington Post, with an article that sums up how bereft the Gopper mind-set is, "Warfare waged by the upper class", with that exquisite quote from  Elizabeth Warren, who may be a powerful force in the Democratic party's future.

It's a quote that Stevie and his carpetbaggers need to have pounded into their reptilian skulls: "We do not run this country for corporations. We run it for people."
