WSJ to Republicans: THIS IS NOT THE WAY TO RUN A MAJORITY

You know the GOP is in trouble when the Wall Street Journal editorial board skewers the party's "strategy" on the Homeland Security funding bill. And that it did on Monday, calling the House leadership "weak" and referring to the tea party wing as a “rump minority” that is “playing into Democratic hands.”
The editorial could basically be reduced down to this: Why the heck are congressional Republicans letting a bunch of sniveling idiots run the party into the ground?
While the board sympathized with Republicans who feel President Obama overstepped his executive authority last year when he granted deportation relief to up to five million undocumented immigrants, it also said "immigration restrictionists" had themselves overreached in trying to roll back the president's 2012 program for Dreamers.
Here's some highlights, of which there are many:
Restrictionists like Sens. Ted Cruz and Jeff Sessions are offering their familiar advice to fight harder and hold firm against “executive amnesty,” but as usual their strategy for victory is nowhere to be found. So Republicans are now heading toward the same cul de sac that they did on the ObamaCare government shutdown…
