The Demise of Roger Ailes and the Republican Party

[kpete]

Roger Ailes built the Republican party – now both are crumbling in plain sight
by: Richard Wolffe

Just two days into the Republican national convention, it’s already been an ugly week for American conservatives as they watch their party torn apart

Richard Wolffe: “We are witnessing the Great Unravelling of the Republican party. Its ideological intellectuals openly disdain and plot against the party’s nominee. Its elected officials are too busy to show up to their own party’s convention.”

“And now the conservative echo chamber itself is collapsing across the mainstream media it surely dominates.”

“The rapid demise of Roger Ailes at Fox News Channel is as seismic an event as Trump’s nomination. For Ailes ruled over a conservative media and political empire that stretched far beyond cable television.”

it isn't replaced with something worse: American Fascism.
