Question: Do you think all of the GOP's talk of punishing disloyalty will backfire?

1. I hope it does immediately.

[baldguy]

2. Big time.

Because they won't be punishing disloyalty to the party - they'll be punishing LOYALTY TO THE COUNTRY.

3. Looking at my history crystal ball, not in the very short term

realize Ike Republicans were the kids of the depression, Their parents were dipshits

[Warpy]

4. It already is

People realize they're acting like two year olds who lost a binkie and that they don't have the interest of this country or its people at heart.

Their poll numbers are tanking.

The good news is that, being Republicans, they're wedded to a losing strategy for the foreseeable future.

[Skittles]

6. their goose-stepping strategy during a crisis will backfire in general

7. No Doubt

It's like setting up a circular firing squad with a big bunch of egos.
