If Rudy and Fred are the only one’s left standing, then the Republicans are finished and indistinguishable from the Democrats. Who is there that supports the party platform running for President... only the lower tier candidates. The party is in real trouble.

"The party is in real trouble"

Sir, I respectfully disagree. The GOP is emerging as a very strong party...under what will be an evolving platform more reflective of the electorate.

Efficiency, low taxes, strong defense, law and order...hallmarks of the party for over 50 years.

Social Conservatives joined the party under Reagan...but have not been reliable GOP voters...party loyalists so to speak. Like an unhappy wife they threaten to leave every couple of years...

Probably half vote dem anyway...and many who historically voted GOP voted for dems in 2006...electing at least two "pro life" dems to the Senate.

I am baffled that the GOP allows this 20% of the party...many who are here for reasons other than social issues...to run the show.
