History will remember 2015 as the year when The Republican Party As We Knew It was destroyed by Donald Trump

I sincerely hope so.
The GOP has been working to thwart the desire of the citizens to keep the rule of law and their country.
And no one is more upset about this than Eugene and his progressive friends, who've counted on being able to slap milquetoast GOP candidates around for years.
Eugene Robinson is a dickwad!
FK the GOP establishment. After the Ryan defection I will NEVER vote or contribute to an establishment member again.I’ll spend the money on guns and ammo
“An entity called the GOP will survive but can never be the same.”
So, what’s wrong with that? The GOPe doesn’t represent conservatives or our values any longer. We need a party that represents and fights for conservative values rather than pretending to do so.
RR bridged the chasm by filling it up with the bodies of the party establishment. Alas natural erosion cut the chasm again and it is going to have to be bridged again with the bodies of left wing Republicans.
Just keep the bastages away from whatever it is that rises from the wreckage. The cycle starts over.
In a storm a tree might be toppled over, and people think when they see the tree that it must have been a powerful storm. But if they look at the trunk and roots they may find they were already rotted away. Then they wonder how the tree could stand up in a light breeze.
Let’s see, the Republicans control both the Senate and the House of Representatives and Republicans have full control of the legislature and governorship in 24 states while Democrats have full control of the legislature and governorship in 7 states. But the Republican party lays destroyed. Keep dreaming Dems. You’re the ones that are a single election away from annihilation.
You should tend to your own fences eugene.
Poor Eugene was going to vote Republican in 2016 for the first time in his life and that damn Trump just went and ruined it for him!
Yeah... TWP is very concerned!
Woe, woe, woe, is we at... TWP!!!
The GOP destroyed themselves.
Millions of Americans have been laying in wait for someone like Trump, someone who’ll drain this political swamp of corruption for all to see.
Eugene Robinson is a democrat - has always been a democrat - and only knows the GOP through the eyes of a democrat.
Eugene Robinson is a democrat - has always been a democrat - and only knows the GOP through the eyes of a democrat. WE are the party - it’s the GOPe that tore us apart.
Liberals are living in fear from the prospect of Trump destroying Hillary and especially Bill the perv...
And the down side is??????
After the last Party of Stupid episode last week with Ryan giving away the store to the Dems and Obama in the budget bill, the Republican establishment should hang its collective head in shame and retire.
You were given the majority in the House and Senate because you said you could lead. You proved that wrong over and over. Step down and retire while you still have a modicum of dignity left.
Eugene is dumber than Juan Williams. I do not say that lightly. Juan is rightly ridiculed for his stupidity on FOX, while Eugene’s stupidity on MSNBC is regarded as the wisdom of a learned elder.
History will remember 2015 as the year when The Republican Party As We Knew It was destroyed by Donald Trump. An entity called the GOP will survive but can never be the same.

Now this would be a happy development and I believe we’re headed toward that outcome. As things are moving now, between Trump and Cruz only a small minority of delegates (selected by voters and caucus goers) to the national convention will be for “establishment” candidates (i.e., all candidates other than Cruz or Trump). The convention can be the starting point for constitutional conservatives to successfully wrest control of the Party from the ‘RAT infiltrators (also known as RINOs) who control it now.
The Washington Post is seeing its worst nightmare develop before its eyes and all their attempts to derail it are failing. Their playbook no longer works.
Never proven past reasonable doubt.
