I sincerely hope that you are right. At the very least it will have ceased to be a major political force. The acrimony that certain GOP senators have created will last on and on.
I, for one, will never vote for a GOP candidate again. I'm waiting for the institution of a new, truly conservative party. And if one doesn't come? Well, I'm reaching the point age-wise that I may not care.
If this bill passes, that will be it for me as well.
