Well, we will have to see, won't we? Trump winning the election as a Republican can bring about big changes in the party. Personally, I would not have minded a 3rd party. If there was ever a candidate who could pull it off (in our lifetime) it would be Trump. Trump winning as an independent would be the death bell for the GOPe.
True. No more social conservatism. Officially, "pro-choice," and "pro-marriage equality." No more fiscal conservatism. Official support for amnesty. A center left party.
