The GOP should take heart from this development:
Earthworms form herds and make "group decisions"

The earthworms use touch to communicate and influence each other's behaviour, according to research published in the journal Ethology.

By doing so the worms collectively decide to travel in the same direction as part of a single herd.

At some time in the distant future they may be able to work their way up to this level of behavior.
