This is so simple and apparent that posting about it is almost insulting, BUT---

[Marcuse]

This entire White House/DOJ/FBI/FOX cluster is a Republican circular firing squad swirling in the afterbirth of a corrupt administration conceived in espionage and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created evil, so grab whatever you can. No Democrats are targeted except Candidate Clinton’s Ghost.

Everything the Republicans say about each other, excluding the self serving attacks on Mueller, is true.

1. I heard hoary old conservative Max Boot on a podcast the other day-- Words Matter

... And he was basically attending the funeral of the Republican Party, and making clear he thinks the death is well-deserved.

However, he was grumbling about how the Democrats ought to get more "centrist" and go for a moderate with strong foreign policy principles and liberal but not "socialist" social policies, and I had to wonder-- Did you not notice the Democratic party's candidate last time was Hillary Clinton? (Whom I esteem and voted for, but certainly gives the lie to his suggestion that the Democrats are into wild extremism.)

Anyway, he thought the GOP was pretty much dead and deserved to be dead even quicker.

2. By Centrist,

they mean that the flow of money will keep going up to the already wealthy. Nothing about better wages or benefits for workers. And certainly no improvements to our Social Safety Net. And keep the cash flowing to the Military Industrial Complex.
