The rino/goper/vichy repubulican controlled republican party needs to be destroyed. Sorry they need to go. Join the dems and be a happy uniparty, let real opposition to socialism and perverts and racists and God haters and illegals, and islam, reclaim the party.

Trump has not destroyed the party, the rino leaders have.

I agree - the damage was done long before. The interesting thing is that Trump doesn’t even pretend to adhere to the GOP platform - and nobody cares. But this is because we’ve been electing people for years who said they adhered to it and , as soon as they got elected, immediately went and voted just the opposite, with no repercussions.

So it’s really failure of those at the top to actually carry out and fight for GOP positions, and to support lower level elected officials who do so, that has led to the vast cynicism that has enabled Trump to launch himself as a GOP candidate even though he’s never really stated that he accepts the principles and is in fact lukewarm to silent on some formerly important issues.

The voters just don’t see why they should care, since nobody else at the top in the party seems to care either.

Thanks justiceseeker93. To paraphrase what you pointed, this is just another partisan media shill at the Washington ComPost, playing a concern troll role. Trump is transforming the Pubbies, not unlike the way Reagan did, but skipping the step of running for and winning the office of governor of a major state.

This should be true of their staff members as well If these traitors have been primaries out or they have quit the be veryone on their staffs need to be let go of and never rehired.

When a republican is elected to replace a democrat they rarely replace all the staff, how cute is that?

The intuitive guess here is that Robinson and his leftist political comrades are fearful of a new brand of Republicanism which might be much tougher for HRC to defeat than, say, the establishment likes of Jeb Bush and John Kasich. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Its more than an intuition, its a plain fact.
Everytime Trump goes up in the polls , watch the lefty political pundits look like the possessed little girl, Reagan ( Linda Blair), in the film, “The Exorcism”

Its also true for eGOP advisor Karl Rove, who seems to have completely disappeared from the public venue since his dire predictions of a TRUMP failure have not materialized.Rove has the distinction of riding grass root rejected elitist eGOP candidates right into the ground in 3 federal elections. He has beome a has been, who has turned into a back room political assassin of “outsiders.”

Robinson’s transparency is getting old. I don’t know why he still has a job when his articles are so predictable and boring.
