It is my belief that we are witnessing the final overthrow of the Republican party from within. If Trump is elected the Republican party will cease to exist. Yes... there will still be a party called Republican, but it wont be the same party anymore than the Democratic party was the same after the 1968 convention.
The result will be a complete realignment of BOTH political parties.
If Trump is elected the Republican party will cease to exist.”
Elaborate?
I’m almost thinking...it’s about time for me to get re-involved in the GOP!
Absolutely agree. We are at an 1850s moment where the go along-to get along Whigs were thrown out in favor of a new party that stood for something.
I have similar beliefs about the overthrow of the republican party, but instead, I believe there will be a complete purge of conservatives, resulting in a "republican party" similar to that of the 1970s dems, without the "Scoop Jackson" types.
However, I don't hold out any hope. I'm seriously considering doing just what the establishment republicans want, to "go Galt," at least as best I can. The fact that they couldn't get rid of Bonior and Mcconell after they did nothing about Obamacare and funded amnesty means they're completely useless and don't care about anything but their own power and positions.

This needs to happen, otherwise it is time for the less viable option, a new (conservative) party to replace the GOP.
