Here we go again. “The Republicans are rudderless,,, they don’t have a leader,,, they’re doomed”
Let me ask you something
June 1997, 6 months after Clinton slaughtered Dole, name me one person (besides Carl Rover, MAYBE) that would have told you for certainty that George Bush would be the leader of the Repubs and be elected in 2000
June 2001, after Bush beat Gore, tell me one person who would have told you John Kerry would have been the ‘rudder” of the Dems come 2004
June 2005, after Bush beat Kerry, tell me one person who would have told you that BHO would be the “leader” of the Dems come 2008!
I could go back even further. The “losers” in the race for the White House are ALWAYS “rudderless and leaderless” for at LEAST 2 1/2 years after that election. ALWAYS

I don’t really have much of an opinion about them being rudderless or leaderless. My point is that they are no longer a political party because they have lost control of their message. And unless you think the media cult that has taken their followers will voluntarily give them back, they will not regain control of that message.
