The GOP Death Spiral

[Bernardo de La Paz]

8. GOP would have to saw off their Rump with a rusty hacksaw.

The traditional GOP has been brow beaten into a corner since the days of Newt Gingrich.

Now they can't get rid of the Ts / Teas / tRumps any easy way.

They surrendered their party to extreme polarization and ignorance and bigotry. They can't get it back.

Their best option is to abandon the Ts en masse and form a new party. Not one of those existing joke and nutty Tea-like "Constitutional" or "Conservative" parties.

The best thing the Democrats can do with a broken GOP (aside from all the obvious things like SCOTUS) would be to put through a new hard-nosed Voting Rights Act, without sunset provisions.

The next thing would be to permanently put state districting in the hands of independent commissions, but that would mostly require winning state Legislatures. That is more likely with Republicans fractured up and down the line and it would be much easier to capture state Legislatures with a new national Voting Rights Act.
