Trump aside, I don’t think we should give a rat’s arse what the future of the GOP is other than ending it.

Personally I wish Trump and Cruz would totally extract themselves from the GOP machine. they would both gain supporters because many indys will not vote for a GOP anything.

I'm thinking that if either Trump or Cruz end up with the nomination, the GOPe is finished and we will see the complete overhaul of the Republican Party.

I'm not averse to having the Republican Party go the way of the Whigs and have something better replace it. But not sure how practical that is.

There -- now I agree with your statement. Trump is a six-it-with-better government kinda guy who belongs in today's GOP.

Let independent fix-it-with-less-government Cruz run against the Republican Trump. The Republican party left us and betrayed us long ago. Trump will do the same to all who vote for him, so leave him in the right party. :^)
