Sorry but unless you have spoken to Republican office holders in Morris County, you are talking out of your hat. While I despair of what is going on, I remain unable to understand why there is not a revolt against the national party. Christie is a lying fuck (he was a county official in the early 1990s. But Bolton is not like the locals who manage county affairs well - so the levy taxes, hire and fire the county employees, manage county assets etc. No big ideas here. Bolton always wanted a place at the table to national affairs- well you need to sell your soul for that. But a county official who is in charge of elections - well here she has behave well.
Sorry but your comment was to disabuse my of my misconceptions. You have not. While the GOP morphed into what the Southern Dems were, in places like CT, NY, NJ the roots of the GOP were not in the Southern Strategy. Our GOP were much more old money etc.
I should add that, regarding the above incident, Secular did an end run around JVL and reposted his tirade the next day on Morning Shots, whining about how he had been mistreated by JVL and JVL just wouldn't listen to reason.
If you choose to engage with him, understand that he is looking for an argument and takes anything other than a "Like" as all the provocation he needs.
A word of advice, Terry...ignore him. You'll note that he never posts on The Triad. JVL yanked one of his rants, telling him "No. Do better." Apparently he is incapable of that and either has chosen to no longer participate over there, or JVL has made him persona non grata.

The Bulwark is a place for nuance.
