the GOP nominating process having devolved into a heresy trial
They are the best GOP candidates the Liberal media put forth.
You Libs deserve the candidate you marketed.
I aim to NOT disappoint.
Be careful what you wish for.

Classic wing-nut response. Never take responsibility for mistakes.
It's an interesting article, more interesting than the stock conservative responses we're likely to get here. Here's another snip:
Since we have determined through the years that we shall have two and only two political parties in this country, the irrationality of one of them is such a grave threat to good governance that the other party has an affirmative obligation to the country to make the irrational party pay such a fearsome price for its indulgent eccentricity that it must reform itself or risk permanent irrelevance. Unfortunately, that task falls to the other creaky vehicle, the Democratic party, which has proven spectacularly ill suited to it.

From the story:
In Washington, there is no leadership anymore, no "Republican establishment" to which anyone can appeal. The ferocious strength of faith-based know-nothingism in the party's base has resulted in a stubborn refusal to adopt even those ideas — like an individual mandate for health care, or cap-and-trade as an energy policy — that began as Republican ideas.
Me:
I couldn't have said it better myself. The old-time Republicans must be running in fear from this new crew of religious zealots. Used to be called the Grand Old Party, but no more...

If the Democrats were more moderate on "social" issues they'd regain permanent majority status. But of course, they won't. The Democrats are in the pocket of hard-left special interests like Planned Parenthood and the homosexual pressure groups.
The Democrats stopped representing average Americans way back in 1968.
The Democrats are the party of radical college professors & urban pseudo-intellectuals and their mind-numbed minions.
And then they wonder why so many people out there cling to "guns and religion."

The Democrats' Duty: Bring the GOP Back from Crazy
Not to put too fine a point on it, but the Republican party, root and branch, from its deepest grass roots to its highest levels, has become completely demented.
INTO THE WILDERNESS /// Both parties have spent time in exile, and both parties have deserved it. But this year, with the GOP nominating process having devolved into a heresy trial, there's a moral obligation to cast the Republicans out until they come to their senses.
