One could hope so.

It's interesting that he talks about an angry liberal wing. There is one in every party. Not allowing dissension? Sounds like a scene from the Republican playbook to me. Doesn't the writer understand that there is going to be a cross-section of any party that will be angry, a section that will be this and that and will correspond to the same thing in the next party down the line? It's called human nature. There are a lot of one-issue Republicans just as there are a lot of one-issue Democrats. The politics of divisiveness that Bush ushered in is now full-blown and the country is reaping the whirlwind in spades (to mix a metaphor).
