The Republican Party has released the "best GOP ad ever," in the words of Donald Trump Jr., which ought to tell you just about everything you need to know about it. Playing like a best-of album of right-wing nightmares, the ad features Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.); anarchy; burning limousines; Kathy Griffin and her disembodied Trump head; Rep.
