Oops. It's all falling apart for the Republicans.

The Republican debaters revolted against the CNBC moderators, complaining about "unfair" questions and format.  And then they revolted against RNC Chair Reince Priebus, saying they were going to negotiate directly with the networks on debate rules.

Sunday night, campaign representatives met and hammered out some demands.   All except Chris Christie, who said, 'Come on, guys.   Just give us podiums and mics, and let's go."

Today four of the candidates (Kasich, Christie, Fiorino, and Trump) said they're not going to sign the letter.   Trump says he will negotiate directly with the networks himself -- for himself, of course.   So, in less than a week, they revolted against the revolt.  Now what?

Here's how digby at Hulabaloo put it:

John Boehner had to resign in order that the congress avoid total chaos and possibly default on the government's debt during a presidential campaign.  The RNC has just been shut out of participation in the presidential campaign. Candidates are in the employ of billionaires (or are billionaires)  who are openly bankrolling the campaigns and their Super PACs  --- and requiring fealty to their needs in return.

This is no longer a political party. It is just a sales force selling snake oil to the rubes on behalf of the 1%.

Yes, but there are millions of voters out there ready to buy that snake oil.   They live in an echo chamber of Fox News and Rush Limbaugh and far right Republican snake oil peddlers.  They don't even know that it's all hokum -- or, worse, don't care.
