This is worse than usual, but something tells me they will learn the wrong lessons and change essentially nothing.

+1 -- signed a Former Republican. So sad.

But to the other PP about GOP disintegrating, if that were to happen, we'd have essentially one political party left. The rest would end up being smaller factions. I am not against all liberal policies, but I don't want a one party system.

If GOP breaks, Democrats will follow, with Center and Left splitting, and Center becoming the 'new' GOP.
The GOP is what keeps Dem together now.

Most would argue that the Democratic Party has moved to the right since 1980. Clinton and Obama were essentially centrists and pragmatists, much to the disappointment of most progressives. Hell, even Obamacare was cribbed from.the Heritage Foundation and built on the foundations of Romneycare. If McConnell and the Republicans had acted rationally and in the best interests of our nation, the Tea Party Movement and its racist and nativist base would have remained at the fringes, and issues like immigration and the economy (stimulus spending) could have been addressed. Instead we got a "do nothing" Congress fixated on Benghazi and Cruz, Carson and Trump riding to prominence. A successful Obama Presidency could have been followed by a Jeb! presidency.

And that's why, if GOP goes, so do the Dems, the left flank will leave. Which would be good.

That's a pretty damning letter, but I have a feeling that most Trump supporters don't care about foreign policies, though they don't seem to realize that foreign policies do affect how we deal with terrorists. Most of his supporters seem to want the US to become insular.

Yes it is and I agree most Trump supporters do not understand implications of Trump's ideas on countries economic stability and national security. However, I still feel Clinto campaign should hammer the differences out for independents to understand the cost. I am hopeful that majority will understand and reject Trump's stupid plan.

The GOP 50 letter isn't about turning Trump supporters, it's about mobilizing Hillary supporters.

We cannot allow Donald Trump to be elected. It would be suicide.

Yes, because of the slam Trump made on the peaceful Somali refugees there. They've had no trouble with the Somalis, yet Trump insists these Somalis here are terrorists. MN is not happy about Trump's comments on Somalis either.
