In the past few years, it has simply become much more obvious what they really stand for, all the "kinder, gentler, compassionate conservatism" horse shit worn away like last week's lipstick.

truth-telling about Republican ideals

Yes, the Republican party "has problems". Namely that they don't recognize, in even the grainiest of detail, that they are loathed by a majority of voting humans. The reason for this is also clear: that majority recognizes that the loathing is mutual.
