~~~~~~~~Trump’s Republican Party~~~~~~~~
Let this be a warning in spades, Trump is dragging your party through the pig farm slug pit. Please hold your nose, don’t breathe or open your eyes cause you be in the disgusted land of ooze.
If you don’t save your party from this blogger-butt you will not only lose what integrity you have but every seat in Congress.
Then again, maybe that is a good thing after all.
typo---- it's the Republicon party.,. sorry, my mistake
Trump has told more lies in his first year in office than all the previous Presidents put together
I suppose it could be that way. One might have thought that the Republican Party was on the ropes during the Great Depression, which was blamed on Republican mismanagement of the economy. The Democrats had a virtual lockhold on power for a solid two decades until the Republicans made a comeback. A large part of the reason for this was due to internal dissension within the Democratic Party. But the Republicans also reinvented themselves somewhat, moderating their views on economics and foreign policy to be more in line with what had been established under Democratic administrations.
The Republicans hit the skids again with Nixon, but the Democrats weren't very popular either. Reagan's cult of personality managed to bring the Republicans back again, and it's been kind of a see-saw ever since. After Bush, it was the Democrat Clinton, then the Republican Bush Jr., then the Democrat Obama, and now a Republican (Trump) again.
I don't think Trump (or anyone) can single-handedly destroy the Republican Party. They survived Harding, Joe McCarthy, Goldwater, Nixon, and others. Trump is still pretty much a party outsider, so once he's no longer in the picture, they'll be able to do whatever they can to recover.
Besides, the Democrats can't really seem to get themselves organized enough or unified enough to take advantage of whatever misfortunes the Republican Party may be facing. In contrast, the Republicans manage to capitalize on any misfortune or internal dissension the Democratic Party may be facing.
Maybe it's because I grew up during the Watergate era, but I've always gotten the impression that Republicans were generally shrewder at politics than the Democrats. Better at "dirty tricks" and the Machiavellian side of politics, so they'll always manage to make a comeback, even if they do seem on the brink of ruination. There's always another election just around the corner.
And even if the Republican Party did cease to exist, its former voters would still be around, and they'd probably form another party (or join an existing third party). Probably the Know-Nothing Party.
Maybe the Whig Party will come back.
