The Daily Beast's Michelle Cottle interviews big time GOP fundraiser Georgette Mosbacher, who is so upset with today's Republican Party she refuses to continue fundraising:
“I’m angry!” fumes Mosbacher. “I’m angry about the stupid mistakes that were self-inflicted.” It’s this last part she finds the most enraging. Though she believes the party has “unfairly” been defined by its recent mistakes, she is very clear about where the ultimate blame lies: “We did it to ourselves.” ...
