[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The GOP has gone through post mortems before, and nothing changed.

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

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.[/quote]

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.  [/quote]

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