When companies are failing, they move into acquisitions to prevent competition from outpacing them. The Republicans are quickly learning that everybody else is ahead of us, and to deafen that they think making a play to acquire them, will be something that they can do.
This reminds me of the quote:
“If I have one message to give to the secular American people, it’s that the world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don’t know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same.”
