The Republican Party is in danger of being taken over by fanatics who see compromise in government as a form of villainous treachery. Forcing the archconservative John Boehner to quit as Speaker of the House for being too soft was an act of war by Republicans against their own party.
共和党有被狂热分子掌控的危险，他们把政府内的妥协看成邪恶的背叛。迫使极端保守派约翰·博纳（John Boehner）因过于软弱而辞去众议院议长的便是共和党人针对本党所发动的战争。野心最大的共和党总统候选人不但极端，也比科尔宾更加修正主义。
