@BrendanNyhan many good pts, except should there really be such surprise about a "reveal", when there's e.g. this: https://twitter.com/patrickc/status/709060312759029761 …

@BrendanNyhan The Kraken has been released. There's no turning back.

@BrendanNyhan Seems like it's revealed a LOT about the Republicans and the media not the Democrats

@BrendanNyhan Too much Entertainment culture~not demanding the entertainment be FILLED with something good. Each show on tv-Philosophy

@BrendanNyhan I know! Impassioned citizens going to political rallies and protests? Make them stop!

@BrendanNyhan @beardedstoner or the health of our *country*. It's fucking depressing.

@BrendanNyhan @instapundit Trump not Hitler or Nazis, but the US citizens are FED. UP. and are crying out for a strong, authoritarian leader

@BrendanNyhan @instapundit I am terrified in the parallels I see now to post-WWI Germany in '20s. Lots of parallels, I think. 1/2

@BrendanNyhan 2. How can party wrest control from media, particularly Murdoch who has controlled most UK PMs since Thatcher & wants US pres?

@BrendanNyhan 1. GOP turned its media into party's leaders. Pols had to parrot them & pander to voters conditioned to accept media views.

@BrendanNyhan And no one in the Republican party has been able to notice it.

@BrendanNyhan Hillary won't repeal obamacare, that's for sure.

@BrendanNyhan Everyone should be donating to anti-trump super PACs. Everyone. We can stop him, its not too late https://www.citizensuperpac.com/heil-trump 

@BrendanNyhan denial...denial...denial GOP political system perfectly healthy; problem is the one issue nationalism.
