The article was fine, but nobody doubts that the GOP lacks leadership, and it's pretty clear why - Ex: Donald Trump's 2013 response to the The Growth and Opportunity Project.

With someone like that ostensibly wearing the crown, you're not going to see many folks scrambling over themselves to mock-up cleverly acronymed, 100 page analyses on why crowns get guttered in the first place.

I get what Gobry's trying to do, tying the GOP's historical frenetics to a lack of direction to incompetence - that's fair, and it's what they've created for themselves by making a reactionary, issue-specific platform. But this is a new breed of incompetence, and it's origin is the author of 140-character tweets.
