This quote from Josh Barro is the most accurate and concise assesment I've read about the current GOP.
"For two decades, the Republican party’s strategy to overcome its disadvantage on economic issues has been a cultural appeal to non-urban whites who feel threatened by social change. That is, the kind of people who think it’s an alarming trend that women are financially independent, or who think the most salient fact about a writer they dislike might be his sexual orientation…the party’s reliance on a resentment-based appeal has caused its policy apparatus to atrophy."
