Bravo for the forward-looking team at Commentary. Unburdened by illusion that Donald Trump can or will “turn this thing around,” they have proceeded straightaway to the next important conversation: What comes next for America’s battered Republican Party? Noah Rothman writes: “Reunification and a recapitulation of something resembling a national governing coalition must be the foremost priority.” That’s clearly true!

How to do it?

Rothman’s answer is to try to reconstitute conservatism as it used to be, refined by the famous “autopsy” of 2013. The problem is that pro-Trump Republicans may not agree that Trumpism failed. They may not be amenable to a reconciliation based on acknowledging that they, uniquely, were wrong—and that their defeated party opponents were in the right all along.

The Republican Party is going to be fundamentally transformed.
Out with the globalists and cheap labor importers and in with the America and Americans First patriots.

There are many Cheap Labor Express Republicans that need to be weeded out.
Unfortunately, McCain, Hoeven, Murkowsky and Rubio were not removed from office after their betrayal of voting for the Gang of Eight amnesty.
Heller, Corker, Hatch and Flake come up in 2018, time to start planning their replacement.
Graham and Alexander have to wait until 2020.
The House needs a housecleaning as well.

Rebuild?

What for?

Let it continue as the DNC docile, gutless lapdog ... the two of them will eventually formalize their ‘association’ and be ONE worthless party.

This is too rich! The ONLY way to fix the republican party is to get right with Trump and the people who elected him. Your good old Chamber of Commerce, country club party is dead!

So hard to pick between The Atlantic’s or The Huffington Post’s or The Nation’s helpful suggestions for how Republicans should run their party. They all have our best interests at heart.

The Democrat party, after Barack Obama, is in its worst electoral shape nationally, at the state level and at the local level since before Roosevelt won in 1932.

The Leftists at the Atlantic are worried about the GOP “being battered”?

[Little Bill]

How did the Republican party survive the Northern Wig takeover in 1860?

[Harpotoo]

We just rebuilt it with Trump election! GOPe BEWARE the Voter!-)

[SamAdams76]

It's Donald Trump's party now. I'm no longer worried like I was before the election. It's the Democrats that need to rebuild and so far, they are doing the same stupid things with the same stupid people (good!).

But the Republican party WILL change. Come 2020, we won't recognize the Republican Party that we know today.

Thanks, I can put this right next to my President Hillary Clinton Newsweek issue.
