The GOP's Empty Chair

We all waited for actor Clint Eastwood to turn to the empty chair on stage at the GOP convention to ask,

"Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?"

41 years ago, Clint gave a memorable performance in Dirty Harry. Last night, the chair was more coherent. 

The GOP has become the most intellectually bankrupt band of small-minded, hate-filled people imaginable.

The GOP has become the empty chair of pragmatic fixes to a host of economic and social ills.

If it isn't a clean sweep for the Democratic Party this November, the fix is in.
