11/2014 was a final pulse check.
It’s dead Jim.

And as for the DemoRatters party where’s their conscience battle within? The libtards got their own corruptions they fail to confront like lock-stepping dimbulbs — all hail the holy D’s.

The political class has to be weeded out. Its not a privileged class as the Dems present it. It may take a shaker and mover to straighten them out, and maybe Trump is the one to do it. We need to weed out the corruption that we are lead to believe does not exist.

First, the GOP must die.
Everything else comes after that.
Exactly, its akin to ,"First kill all the lawyers".

The author is right. If Trump is not the nominee there’s no way his supporters will go back to the rinos. Unless the nominee is Cruz.

It weakened after Reagan left office. It went into a death spiral when Roger Ailes and Lee Atwater departed.
They have been DNC-lite ever since. In the past, the GOP has always had a very tense relationship with Reagan and Goldwater.

SCENARIO 1) If Trump
doesn't win the nomination it is the end of the Republican Party.
SCENARIO 2) If Trump does win the nomination it is the end of the Republican Party.
Either scenario WORKS FOR ME.

I really don’t understand the problem with the GOP “dieing”. Those traitors to the electorate need to go the way of the Whigs.

“The GOPe should go the way of the dinosaurs.”
The GOP officially became obsolete after the last midterm election. It was well on its way before that but afterwards it was obvious that the organization was completely ineffective and openly HOSTILE to a large fraction of their base. They used to at least PRETEND to oppose the RATS but even that stopped in 2015.

"Trump is a disruptor of the most lethal sort. His blunt language is shattering the brittle framework of GOP nostrums that forever promise things they don’t deliver. He is revealing the basic discordance between party leaders and rank and file."
And I, for one, and loving every bit of it. The GOPe beast cannot die too soon.
But it's also telling that for all the columnist's bluster, what he does not say is that the Dems have no answer for Trump, either. Both parties are powerless to do anything about Trump, for one good reason: He echoes the sentiments of most Americans. And most Americans are tired of being shouted down by both parties as being racist, homophobes, or sexist for wanting the Constitution to be followed by our "representative government."
But Trump's presence in this race is accomplishing another, even more useful thing: He's causing all of the traitorous GOPe quislings to out themselves. This will be useful for us voters in that we will know exactly who to frog march into history.

What follows the collapse of the GOP is an authoritarian one party dictatorship combining the autocratic progressives and potentially violent special interests based on race, sexuality and anti capitalism.

The GOP died when it decided to live in the Bush’s.

Not even then.
Cruz too is a creature of the GOP.
Just look at who contributes to his PACs.
There his principal allegiance will be.

Well, if that's true it would hasten an end game that many believe is winnable for liberty.
