From where I’m sitting the republican party doesn’t survive this. And I’m going to take it a step further. I don’t think our political system survives this. What happens when one of the parties in a two-party system totally collapses?
At this point many republican voters will permanently abandon The GOP. They don’t fight for their voters, they don’t fight for America, they can’t even protect their presidential candidates. They are either powerless or enemy collaborators. I actually hold greater contempt for people like Mitch McConnell than I do Adam Schiff or Nancy Pelosi.
No, I don’t buy your analysis. I think all of these proceedings will be a death knell for the republican party. There’s been a growing dissatisfaction with the republican party for a while now. That’s how we got Trump in the first place.
Political Parties will not solve our problems. Elections will not solve our problems.
I agree with the frustration with establishment Republicans, but look where we are now. Trump claimed he was going to drain the DC swamp, but led us into an ambush in a DC alley instead. I'm sure a subset of his supporters will just throw up their hands and surrender politics, once he's off the scene, we see those comments here constantly. But the majority won't do that. They'll regroup, and look for a new leader. One that's not as unpredictable (and foolhardy) as Trump. Thanks.
