Late Wednesday evening, the Republican National Committee (RNC) decided to send out a tweet, but as with most things the Republicans try to do, it wound up blowing up in their faces. Here’s the tweet:
Thank you to the entire Republican field for a hard fought race. The Party is better for your efforts.
— GOP (@GOP) May 4, 2016
The party is better for your efforts? Is that right? You now have a nominee in Donald Trump who has the highest unfavorability ratings in the history of American elections.
Within minutes of that tweet, social media began exacting a measure of revenge on the RNC:
Thank you to the entire Republican field for a hard fought race. The Party is better for your efforts.

Yep, the GOP field did one hell of a job. They helped nominate the modern equivalent of Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler combined. Give yourselves a hand as you shuffle off the stage and crawl back under the rocks you emerged from.
And some friendly advice for Reince Priebus, Chairman of the RNC: Dude, lay off the hard drugs.
