Barone Is Blunt

You seldom see a columnist state something as bluntly as Michael Barone does in this recent U.S.News & World Report blog post:
The Republican Party is the party of people who are considered, by themselves and by others, as normal Americans...while the Democratic Party is the party of the out groups who are in some sense seen, by themselves and by others, as not normal.
I suppose we'll hear screams of outrage at this bald statement of political reality; but the polls of who votes for what party certainly support this non-PC view.
