First, the GOP must die.

Everything else comes after that.

I don’t give a damn about the GOP or the Rats, I care about working and middle class Americans and neither the GOP or the Rats give a damn about us. Both parties lie, steal and cheat. FU GOP, FU Rats. Go Trummp!

...and that’s a bad thing because?

Rather, the GOPe must die.

Tom Toles is a left-wing cartoonist. He never wishes the Republican Party well.

Lindsay Graham, as part of the taunt-war he’s having with Donald Trump, says that if Trump wins the GOP nomination, it will mean the end of the Republican Party. He’s right, but Trump means the end of the Republican Party even if he doesn’t get the nomination.

There's plenty to criticize about Trump, but using Lindsay Graham as an avatar of what a "real" Republican and a "real" conservative should be like is a non-starter.

Toles is a pseudo political cartoonist with the drawing and wording skills of a 3 year old.

The GOP has been a rickety, unsustainable contraption of policy prescriptions that don’t add up, don’t really represent the coalition’s actual members, and is based on a backward-looking set of views appealing to an ever-shrinking demographic. It has been held together this long with an ever-more-obfuscatory confabulation of misdirection, packaged in buzzwords and amped with anger. It was overdue to come unglued.

And this differs from the Democrats how?

Okay, they may appeal to a rising demographic, but their policies are as contradictory as the Republicans' are and their coalition is as held together by buzz words and anger as much as the Republicans' is. Plus, there's even more misdirection among the Democrats.

But Toles is the paper's cartoonist. Not that great with words or complex ideas.

The non conservative GOPe party needs to be shattered into a thousand pieces.

If the GOP falls it will not be the fault of the conservatives, but it will be the fault of the moderates that have ruined the party.
