"Before Donald Trump, the Republican Party was a majority conservative party with a white nationalist fringe. Now it’s a white nationalist party with a conservative fringe."

1. They are doing a pretty good job of that themselves.

How much more can they bungle things up?

2. it was rotten before TrumPutin

The rot began around 1976. Rotten Ronnie was the messiah for "trickle down" and the GOP began to gather its coalition of extremists by any means necessary. TrumPutin is merely the culmination of the plan and the end stage of the disease.

3. I think that they (gop) is already well on its way to destroying itself as a

competent, national party. We don't need to do a thing other than to keep up w/ what we've all have been doing so far, pointing out their flaws, protesting their unilateral actions contrary to most American's desires, and etc.

4. Start a real conservative party. We'd love to see the right wing vote divided.
