EXCERPT:
KEILAR: “The only party now that is operating in reality is the Democratic Party. The Republican Party is obsolete. The Republican Party is not dealing and living in reality. So, you cannot negotiate with a party that doesn’t operate on logic. And so I don’t know what the answer is when it comes to the Republican Party. I think at this point it needs to be restructured and perhaps Americans who want this country to be a country that is sane and rational and equitable and equal, that perhaps they need to challenge the Republican Party more. But I don’t think the Republican Party at this point is — I don’t think that they can be changed. I really don’t. I think that it has gone way too far and it’s just sad to see. I’m not — listen, again, I’m not a political person. I’m a person who lives in reality. I’m a journalist. I can see and I can hear, and I can think. And there is no reason to believe that the Republicans are going to start playing fairly and they’re going to start operating as a party of sanity."
