Does the GOP ever recover from the Trump "hi-jacking" of their Party? [View all]

The way I see it, they have to expunge him from their Party. But to do so, would require significant sacrifice.

Do they truly think they can survive as a Party on the backward and dangerous ideas of Donald Trump? At the present time, the majority of voters in the GOP do indeed support Donald Trump.

We do not point out this reality in order to save the GOP, but rather to save our nation from the threat posed by this wannabe dictator.

Perhaps they think they can run their races without supporting their President? That would be very difficult to do.

If they wish to survive as a conservative Party, they must find a way to rid themselves of Donald Trump. I do not doubt but that they have discussed these options.

If they want to go into the future as the Party of Trump, that is their decision. If they decide to rid themselves of the scourge within their Party, there would probably be some sacrifice required? They would probably lose the Senate and maybe, the House?

But, it would show that they stand for something besides the Trump agenda. Otherwise, they are on a steep downward spiral. They have a difficult choice.
