The GOP tumbles toward anarchy: ‘It’s every person for himself or herself’

[UCmeNdc]

The Republican Party tumbled toward anarchy Monday over its presidential nominee, as House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (Wis.) cut Donald Trump loose in an emergency maneuver to preserve the party’s endangered congressional majorities.

Ryan’s announcement that he would no longer defend or campaign with Trump prompted biting condemnations from within his caucus and from Trump himself, who publicly lashed out at the speaker.

It was an extraordinary display of personal animus just four weeks before the election, destroying any semblance of party unity behind a nominee who many GOP leaders said they could no longer stomach because of his character traits and tawdry campaign tactic

2. And that will cost the GOP among independent voters:

If a political party is perceived as undisciplined/incoherent (infighting, lack of clear goals...), that's a major turn-off for voters.
