The GOP is determined to become irrelevant. They managed to alienate the base since the last election taking Congress and have now managed to become Whigs.
It is entirely possible that the best thing this primary/election cycle will produce is a final separation of the wheat from the chaff.
Permanently.
The talk about the uniparty is more than hyperbole.
There is currently NO party for conservatives in the USA.
There is virtually no chance that the GOPestablishment party will repent and change their minds.
This coming election we may be able to win with them, while they are kicking and screaming... But regardless, I do not believe the GOP will survive in its current state through this election cycle. I believe that this is....
the PURGE election.
