Day in and day out, it's drummed into their heads and they take every possibility opportunity to regurgitate it without thought. They're lemmings marching off the cliff. They're the marchers in Mac's iconic 1984 Super Bowl commercial. But, say what we will about their message and/or their motivations - they are disciplined.

They may fight among themselves about Jeb's education policies or Christie's scandal issues or Mitt's irrelevance...but when the time comes to "fight the enemy" they show up all day every day and they drink the Kool-aid of the party.

I have to admit - I envy their message disciple.
