What has nearly destroyed the republican party is sycophantic capitulation to socialism and dictatorial tyranny over and over again. The sickening sight of republican leaders running from a fight has disillusioned millions of conservatives. They are flocking to become declared independant and totally stopped giving any more money because,for example, they see it going to pay black democrats in Mississippi to vote in a republican run off to support a bad establishment hack against a real conservative - McBride. This party was disintegrating long before Trump rode in. He may actuall save this party if he keeps it up.

Just as the Whigs ran out of steam and folded—the GOP needs to fold up and end on the trash heap of history—Need new Party —Merge the Reform, Constution, etc... Parties into a new Liberal Party. Not a 3rd Party but a 2nd Party to replace the Vichy Republicans we have now. Trump is leading a movement.
