They are interested in power. Which is an interesting and informative contrast to the Democratic party, with its concerns over equity, representation, and internal consistency. The Democratic party can criticize their leaders - and we do, a lot. The Republican party does not and are able to adapt reality to whatever demagoguery is the flavor of the day.

No. They do not care. They care about winning, they don't care about governing.
