Here are additional posts by Laurie Higgins in the “comments” sections following her articles — in over twenty-five years of participation in politics I’ve never read a stronger and clearer case outlining why we need to preserve the intellectual integrity of the Republican Party (in other words, these posts by Higgins are also a must-read):
