"Unveiling the Chaos: GOP Debates Expose Party's Dysfunction"

The recent GOP debate showcased the lunacy within the Republican Party, even without the presence of Donald Trump.

The candidates projected a vision of the United States under constant existential threat, reinforcing the absurdity of liberal narratives about a righteous conservatism in exile.
