11. Ed Gillespie just realized that he is on the losing side of History.

The Republican Party is in the beginning of a death spiral, and the increasingly insane things disconnected from all reality said by people that are members of that party just point to the desperate situation they find themselves in.

They cannot convince the rest of the electorate with their lies anymore, and they already have the vote of the ignorant and uninformed, the racists and the bigots...unless they can suddenly find or create more of these type of voters, they are doomed as a political party to minority status.

The hysterical tone that has been taken on by their spokespeople, flacks, and shills is starting to fail as the constant barrage of misinformation and breathless pronouncements of things that never seem to come to pass is wearing thin.

Citizen's United was their last desperate attempt to usurp Democracy, and it is now working against them.

Hoist by their own petard.
