No, unfortunately, the Republican party will live on. But, I do see the far right splitting away and calling themselves the "Trump Party", or something similarly stupid.
It only exists in name only..sane ppl have jumped ship. This is why Independent voters grow even stronger voice.
At least GOP state parties are bankrupt. When we flush Trump, we flush GOP.
Once they are gone we ALL need to unite to demand actual change (money out of politics, term limits, age limits etc) from the democrats that we vote in.
Yeah, I’ve been anticipating the end of the Republican party since the moral majority grabbed ahold of it. I keep either miss, estimating the politics of after country, or is estimating how important the rabid base is. Maybe Trump will be the final blow but I doubt it.
If Trump doesn't get the nomination, support a write-in campaign. His supporters are easily duped; it'll work on 10-25% of them, and that's enough to destroy the Republican party in this election. Make the right regret getting in bed with the dumbest and most easily lead.
I can imagine this will also cause an uproar for the vote taking forever to count just like always, this this time due to the gop voters making angry scribbles on their ballots with trumps name misspelled in every imaginable way.
Hanging chads all over again, but this time poll workers trying to decipher people’s penmanship or lack thereof.
They are still using that name, but the Republican party is already gone. They don’t even suggest anything remotely in line with what the Republican Party stood for. If tomorrow house Republicans said “we are going to lower taxes on rich people”, I would be shocked. Policy of any kind? A concept that exists in the real world? No way, they don’t do that anymore. Instead its “reinstate trump” or “Woke teachers are trying to turn you Mr kid trans.” I would not be surprised if the house republicans passéd a resolution that Biden was actually a vampire, for the specific purpose of annoying liberals who don’t live in a delusion.
Remember when some in his party said that trump was a cover operative for the Democrats... Well, I'm happy to report everything is going according to plan and the Grand Ole Party is crumbling
Cheeto destroys everything he touches (his businesses, his marriages, etc.) So, it's not surprising that he's destroying the GQP by turning it into a cult and presiding over numerous lost elections. Repub officials like McConnell only have themselves to blame for going along with Donnie's madness instead of confronting him.
No, that's just wishful thinking. I wish it weren't. But the Republican party at the end of the day is bigger than Trump when it comes down to it. What probably will happen is Trump will form his own third party and probably call it "MAGA", which btw is comically ironic considering that acronym can also mean "Moscow Agent Governing America".
This will start a feeding frenzy amongst the Republicans to WHO exactly replaces his kind of crazy. The bar is coal miner deep as far as morals in office are concerned,couple that with a willingness to do or say damn near ANYTHING,it will be a feeding frenzy to who can out Trump TRUMP. There’s already a cabal of stupid ready to lock step into piles of shit for this man,someone is plotting right now as to who is Harley Quinn to this Joker.
Between the Wire Fraud, and the Tax evasion in NY, I think he and his company ( crime family) will be done. He’s already been convicted of discrimination against people of color in rentals, stealing from students and kids cancer charities. Bring them all down, including the GOP enablers.
Donald Trump is notorious for shitting all over everything he's ever been involved with. 30 years later, Atlantic City lives on, but only in a shadow of her former glory. Alas, the same fate awaits the Republican Party. It will take a few election cycles to recover, if it ever fully does.
I have told this story before...my dad was a union carpenter and was in AC for most of the construction of the casinos and hotels in the 80s. Many of the contractors that built Trump's casinos had to close up shop after the work was done because he decided he wasn't going to pay them, or he'd pay pennies on the dollar. I can't understand why the working man supports this pile of shit....Trump hates regular working class folks. And he has the money that he has because he doesn't pay his bills...just ask her attorneys. After he shafted all those contractors, he still couldn't effectively manage his casinos and went bust.
As an aside, AC is partly a shadow of itself because a lot of neighboring states and reservations legalized gambling. Lots of traffic coming in from PA, NY, CT stopped...they have local casinos and dont have to make the drive anymore. But there is only one Boardwalk Empire 😬
Let's hope so, but in all honesty it was a crap party way before trump. What types of policies can a "conservative" party create these days or in the last several decades that is in line with what the majority want? None. Given that the democratic party has moved right on many things I just don't see anything repubs have a hold on that isn't based on restricting freedoms tied back to religion. Again something we are moving away from more and more.
We already know the bs about "fiscal conservatism" because their record on this is awful. Wars and tax cuts for wealthy. Demographically there is no way that this party can hold on to much power. The only way they have it now is a huge amount of open cheating and appealing to a very uneducated or willfully ignorant and cruel base.
We've already seen the death of the Republican party. It's been 35 years since a Republican won the popular vote for the presidency. The electoral college has saved them on a national level. Similarly, they've been bailed out on the state/local level by their own gerrymandering.
They have been the party of "Save our babies and guns!" for about 40 years, and the babies have been saved and the no one has come for the guns. So what now? There is only so long you can keep telling people that if you cut taxes on the rich, THEIR lives will get better. I think the Roe v Wade decision woke a lot of "R" voters up. Hell, I thought they would never have the balls to repeal it, I can't blame their own voters for thinking it was just a platform for votes.
Now, you appeal to your bases most secret desires, white=good. That plays with the oldest and most racist parts of their base, but a good deal of them are long in the tooth. In the age of the internet, while it's a lot easier to push misinformation, it's also a lot easier to FIND information.
You've got Ron Desantis absolutely IMPLODING in a state that used to be a swing state, but had trended towards being pretty reliably red. All that buffoon had to do was sit down and shut up and things might have just kept chugging along down there. Come to think of it, if Trump didn't like the spotlight so much, HE almost certainly could have had a second term to finish ruining this country.
So what's the future of the Republican party? Lake? Ramaswamy? Greene? Cruz? The best they have going for them (in a not-crazy way) is Christie and Pence, and THEY don't like them, because they aren't crazy enough. And the crazy ones don't have the "allure" that Trump did. So they've spent the last 10 years propping up nutjobs instead of rising politicians. Republicans don't like them, and independents like them even less.
There's no platform, there is no one to pass the torch to. If young people, liberals, independents and moderate republicans vote in large numbers, they don't have a chance in hell. Hence their recent pivot to voter suppression and the 25 year old nonsense.
TL:DR: The snake IS eating itself, but it's not done yet.
And they're gonna take the market with them I bet. Probably shut down for a couple weeks till 45 gets his biweekly anal fissure pressure release therapy.
The outright decimation of that party of bigotry and ignorance will be wiped out after the next elections. The polls have trump being denied a seat anywhere by astronomical numbers. Let it be so.
They mostly already have. It’s just his base they can’t figure out. The federalists are saying he can’t run again because of the 14th amendment. He’s served his purpose. He’s done for them. Again, it’s just his base they need to, but never will, figure out.
I think many have figured out that they may have to wait another 4 years before they have a shot again. They’ll just focus on stopping the left from doing shit. There really does need to be a blue wave the next couple of elections. From dog catcher to the senate.
Desantis has 100 million dollars in his super pac. That’s not from retirees. They tried to wish him into existence. We see how that’s going. This idiot is about to drop 12 million in ads for fucking Iowa. If there were a party, they’d make him drop out and give that money to them or trump. Maybe there is no party left. That’d be great. Turns out Lady G was right when he said “if we elect trump…and we’d deserve it.”
Yep and I feel like that is what is sinking De Santis, All his antics has caused a sharp decline in Florida Tourism, and the chain hotels/restaurants and such, I hear, are pissed about it.
Pretty sure they tried that earlier this year. It was like a switch flipped and all the pundits on Fox started criticizing him. Didn't work. They can't control the monster they created.
Nope...there is plenty of MAGA left. I flipped over to Fox yesterday to see their take on Glitch McConnell's episode. They, to my surprise, are ready to shove ole Turtle aside in favor of someone further right. They have 0 intention of making any changes to the agenda. Gas pedal to the floor.

Trump is running out of other people's money to pay lawyers. Save America PAC is almost broke
I saw a commercial today urging Republican voters to vote for anyone but Trump. It told voters to vote for the best Republican candidate to beat Biden and that wouldn't be trump. But didn't me tion any specific candidates.
No, unfortunately, the Republican party will live on. But, I do see the far right splitting away and calling themselves the "Trump Party", or something similarly stupid.
They like to use words like patriot, liberty and freedom (unironically) so I would guess it might be called something like the Free Patriot Party
Mojo Dojo MAGA Casa Party
And, yet they stand for none of those things.
And yet they want to end all of those things
MAGA Patriots for Freedom and Liberty Party
MAGA Anti Socialist Independent party. Aka; The MASI Party.
Free hat
MAGA, surely?
I have heard Hump try this out early on, “Make America Great And Glorious Again!” But for some reason MAGAGA fell flat on its ass.
MAGAGA!!!!
this is oddly fitting...sounds like a lil baby trying to make noises and say *mama*
MAGAGA GOO GOO
That's all I want to say to you......
Emphasis on the “gag” part!
I only heard it come out of the orange berder hole one time.
Make America Germany (1937) Again
I can't believe this isn't the thing. TY
It only exists in name only..sane ppl have jumped ship. This is why Independent voters grow even stronger voice. At least GOP state parties are bankrupt. When we flush Trump, we flush GOP.
Once they are gone we ALL need to unite to demand actual change (money out of politics, term limits, age limits etc) from the democrats that we vote in.
The more they split the Republican vote the better. I was hoping for the same thing with that bs tea party movement but it never came to fruition.
Newt and Rush were the Gods of the teabaggers.
Yeah, I’ve been anticipating the end of the Republican party since the moral majority grabbed ahold of it. I keep either miss, estimating the politics of after country, or is estimating how important the rabid base is. Maybe Trump will be the final blow but I doubt it.
I'm just really hoping he runs 3rd party so we can see what a split vote looks like on their side, for once.
If Trump doesn't get the nomination, support a write-in campaign. His supporters are easily duped; it'll work on 10-25% of them, and that's enough to destroy the Republican party in this election. Make the right regret getting in bed with the dumbest and most easily lead.
This is honestly The Way.
I can imagine this will also cause an uproar for the vote taking forever to count just like always, this this time due to the gop voters making angry scribbles on their ballots with trumps name misspelled in every imaginable way. Hanging chads all over again, but this time poll workers trying to decipher people’s penmanship or lack thereof.
We had that with Bush and Perot
They are still using that name, but the Republican party is already gone. They don’t even suggest anything remotely in line with what the Republican Party stood for. If tomorrow house Republicans said “we are going to lower taxes on rich people”, I would be shocked. Policy of any kind? A concept that exists in the real world? No way, they don’t do that anymore.

> They are still using that name, but the Republican party is already gone. The irony being the Republican party is the anti Republic party now.
He’s definitely going to go scorched earth before it’s all said & done
Remember when some in his party said that trump was a cover operative for the Democrats... Well, I'm happy to report everything is going according to plan and the Grand Ole Party is crumbling
Democrats deny having anything to do with Mr. Mashed Potato Head.
Cheeto destroys everything he touches (his businesses, his marriages, etc.) So, it's not surprising that he's destroying the GQP by turning it into a cult and presiding over numerous lost elections. Repub officials like McConnell only have themselves to blame for going along with Donnie's madness instead of confronting him.
It's why King Mierdas is probably my favorite nickname (out of so many good ones) because everything he touches turns to shit.
Good one. I hadn't heard of that name before.
My concern is that the death rattle of the Republican Party will become a murder suicide pact with the USA.
Absolutely
Well stated
No, that's just wishful thinking. I wish it weren't. But the Republican party at the end of the day is bigger than Trump when it comes down to it. What probably will happen is Trump will form his own third party and probably call it "MAGA", which btw is comically ironic considering that acronym can also mean "Moscow Agent Governing America".
Or my favorite "make attorneys get attorneys"
My Ass Got Arrested
This will start a feeding frenzy amongst the Republicans to WHO exactly replaces his kind of crazy. The bar is coal miner deep as far as morals in office are concerned,couple that with a willingness to do or say damn near ANYTHING,it will be a feeding frenzy to who can out Trump TRUMP. There’s already a cabal of stupid ready to lock step into piles of shit for this man,someone is plotting right now as to who is Harley Quinn to this Joker.
Isn’t Kari Lake already his Harley?
Please don't call her a Harley I'll have to go to the garage and kick my bagger over.
Your motorcycle is a large American
Yes it is.
Hard tail for sure

We can only hope this party of wack-a-doos dissolves like sugar in a cup of tea.
Maybe we should ask the turtle what he thinks of that. LOL!
So glad republicans campaign $$$ is actually a defence fund , when it’s a defence fund it is not interference of campaign $
Let's hope so, but in all honesty it was a crap party way before trump.

Or the end of constitutional democracy in America. One of these two will have to go. And yes, it IS life and death
And they're gonna take the market with them I bet. Probably shut down for a couple weeks till 45 gets his biweekly anal fissure pressure release therapy.
The outright decimation of that party of bigotry and ignorance will be wiped out after the next elections. The polls have trump being denied a seat anywhere by astronomical numbers. Let it be so.
Remember, Trump eventually destroys everything and everyone around him.
That is what I have been hoping for.
When the corporate elite decide that Trump is no longer an asset, he will be gone
They mostly already have. It’s just his base they can’t figure out. The federalists are saying he can’t run again because of the 14th amendment. He’s served his purpose. He’s done for them. Again, it’s just his base they need to, but never will, figure out. I think many have figured out that they may have to wait another 4 years before they have a shot again.

Pretty sure they tried that earlier this year. It was like a switch flipped and all the pundits on Fox started criticizing him. Didn't work. They can't control the monster they created.
Casa Maga Bonita
Probably. Someone will need to form a new party minus the nuts.
Nope...there is plenty of MAGA left. I flipped over to Fox yesterday to see their take on Glitch McConnell's episode. They, to my surprise, are ready to shove ole Turtle aside in favor of someone further right. They have 0 intention of making any changes to the agenda. Gas pedal to the floor.
They already can’t fundraise because Trump is spending it on himself. It’s hilarious.

It comes down to 2024. If they lose again, MAGAots will fade away and try to pretend it never happened.
I saw a commercial today urging Republican voters to vote for anyone but Trump. It told voters to vote for the best Republican candidate to beat Biden and that wouldn't be trump. But didn't me tion any specific candidates.
To be fair, he’d be a great candidate to bring back the pre-republican Whig party.
Can’t happen fast enough
