Irony

Paul Krugman comments on the major conundrum that faces the Republican party: The base they spent decades cultivating and wooing with race-bating pander is now the major force preventing them from attracting (and causing them to further repel) the minority voters they'll need to lure if they want to be a majority party in years to come. What they thought was fertile soil turns out to have been laced with poison. What a shame.
