That headline isn’t exactly true. There’s still a fair amount of delight to be had watching the Republican Party disintegrate in the acid bath of its own devising. There’s still oceans of schadenfreude to be enjoyed as the Party of Fear ruptures like a boil, its panicky, dry-mouthed leaders scrambling to denounce Trump – their own sneering, leering bastard child – and derail his runaway train of hate before it’s too late, which it already probably is.

But really, how uncanny to watch Mitt Romney, the most grossly elitist white zombie of the conservative ruling class, emerge from his mansion and pretend to serve as righteous moral compass for all the other elitist white male zombies in his party.
