For more videos, head to www.wsj.com/video. DJ Newswires' Simon Constable speaks with John Batchelor, author of "A Short History of the Republican Party," about how, why and who should be given the chop as the party rebuilds. (Nov. 17)
the republican party has been split into several factions sense the very beginning. this kind of thing would never happen. it would be suicide. republicans fighting republcians is the only thing keeping the democrats working in kansas. if republicans were really as united as this guy says the dems would be doomed.
This man is absolutely insane. He wants the party to be far more right wing conservative. This is why the party is not going be a minority for 8 or 16 years. This party is going to the next Whig Party if they don't moderate their politics. The more you Alienate the Center Independents, the more your party will shrink. I must the the GOP is going to be nothing but a Southern Confederacy. The GOP of today is what the Dem Dixiecrat use to be. An old white man's Party.
these guys don't know what they're talking about. The GOP is going to be getting rid of NEOCONS. I think the dfl'ers & GOP'ers can agree they need to go.
I really wish Ron Paul would tell his LOST party (what's left of it anyway) to SHOVE it (!) and go independent. The VAST majority of Republicans will simply NEVER get it. They just can't see into that (libertarian) window. They can't think "outside the box". They've been drinking the Hush Bimbo kool-aid for too long. Decades of being dumbed down . . .
Why on earth would you make any kind of positive reference to a madman? What the republican party needs to do is not one bit like anything stalin ever did. Being Provocative is not always the way to get a point across.

Republicans need to SCRAP the Reagan pseudo-conservative template FOREVER.
Governing by never-ending MASSIVE deficit spending (Reagan/Bush41/Bush43) is NOT leadership.
No more CREDIT CARD Red Ink Republican presidents! 28 years is enough!
