Dear Peter Beinart,

Michael Strain,

and the rest of you so-so-sorry-but-could-you-rescue-us establishment Republicans: sure, we'd be delighted. Honest. Just a couple of little things we'd like you to take care of first:
- Vote today to approve the nomination of Fill-In-The-Blank to a seat on SCOTUS; also a cupcake assortment for President Obama's nomination minder;
- Vote today to institute a national cap-and-trade carbon policy; and replace the vehicles of every GOP official with a Prius - I don't like them, but then I don't like you either;
- Vote today to raise the top tax rate on incomes over 500k to fifty percent, with the proceeds earmarked for unconditional cash rebates for the bottom fifteen percent of earners.
That should do it. Do that today, and we will show up, en masse, and vote for EmptySuit McPanicBoy.
Mind you, it won't help: after today, Trump's lead will allow him to coast to the nomination even against a beefed up Rubio. But you will have atoned for a half-century of sins, and that's bound to make you feel better.
