Trump’s Greatest Contribution Would be to Destroy the GOP

Quote:For the good of the country, for the good of the world, the Republican Party as it is currently configured needs to be destroyed. There are no caveats here. No “except for.” Any effort to delay a final trumping of the party is ill-founded. What has evolved over the last four decades or so has been a party that appeals to the dark side of U.S. politics and has cultivated an electoral base that is fighting tooth-and-nail to hold back the future.

The sky-is-falling panic that has gripped the Republican establishment and the conservative movement over the impending nomination of Donald Trump as the party’s standard bearer and 2016 presidential nominee is misguided. Trump is not the problem; trumpism is and will increasingly become so.

If Donald Trump dropped off the face of the earth today, the basic facts would not change. Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, nor any other national Republican figure can – or want to – stem the tide of bigoted outrage that has gathered around Trump and defines today’s GOP. The hard and inconvenient truth is that the Republican electorate in significant numbers wants a candidate that is racist, misogynist, homophobic, Islamophobic, anti-immigrant, and war mongering. The polls show it. Certainly the votes show it. All three of the top remaining contenders – and throw Dr. Ben Carson in that pile – fit the profile.

That would be just great !  8)

Fanatics with outstretched arms pledging themselves to Herr Trump today in North Carolina. In America.

lixxxx fuh the strumpet!  ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL::

oh well!  where is the revolution ::confused::  its late

I think that it is pretty safe to assume that this is just one man's opinion on the matter, written in a particularly capturing style, and really nothing more than that.  I will just chalk it up to political banter, but it is still interesting to think about.  I would like to avoid having to think of this man as President, but it is actually kind of becoming a possibility, which is scary.

Well, I think there will be a division in the GOP soon.
