12 predictions for the year ’13

More of the same from the NRA, ‘Breaking Bad,’ Pepe’s

Here are my predictions for 2013:

1) Efforts by moderates or traditional conservatives to improve the Republican Party’s outreach and branding will suffer due to the continued clout of the Tea Party, far-right House Republicans and talk show hosts who will make sure the party appeals mostly to its existing choir. A politically damaging GOP internal war will heat up.
