Letter: Republican Party out of touch with majority of Americans

It's been interesting to observe the disarray of the Republican Party.

Speaker Boehner resigns — got tired of dealing with the Tea Party.

At one point 14 presidential candidates? Seems like a lot. At one point the top three candidates were non-politicians — doesn’t indicate a lot of confidence in the current leadership.

Candidates are reluctant to speak about climate change and gun control.

Conclusion: The Republican Party is dysfunctional and out of touch with the majority of Americans.
