Gov. Jerry Brown: Republican Party like a cult
On CBS News Face the Nation Sunday morning, California Gov. Jerry Brown (D) said that politics had changed a hell of a lot since he started his career as a public official.
Its more polarized, the money is more centrally collected and distributed by the two major parties, there is particularly on the Republican side an enforcement of discipline thats ideological, he explained. And as was mentioned today in The Washington Post, it takes on the quality of a cult.
Were in a much more adversarial environment, Brown continued. We always had it historically, but now it is ramped up several degrees, as evidenced by the filibusters and the holds on nominations. A great power cant government itself with this kind of dysfunction.
