The GOP has been dead for some time as evidenced by the obstructionism and lack of modern alternative thinking. They still get elected but simply occupy the seat. That will probably continue until demographics change the electorate where they still have uninformrd and gullible saps voting for them and against their children and the country. I've seen nothing new or positive from the GOP in years. They offer 19th century solutions to 21st century problems.

Ike was elected in 1953, Nixon was his VP, for the first time and served until 1961. 1953 is no where near 1928.

Like I said, another Terrorist attack, either by Islamist or affiliated with BLM, especially right before the election, and Trump wins.

There will not be a Republican POTUS until one Republican wins the nomination and has a specific stance on two issues. Neutrality on LGBT rights and Abortion; will not favor any federal or state legislation restrictions LGBT rights & making abortion illegal.

Now to sweeten the pot if a Republican stepped up with those issues in addition to: Doing away with the income tax; state based health insurance market; abolishing the death penalty; against eminent domain; Eliminating trade deals and tarrifs on imported goods; flat corporate tax; national sales tax; doing away of the ETIC; Federal welfare reform; ciminal justice reform; ending war on drugs; legalizing marijuana; mental health reform, veteran's care reform; for liveable wages determined by the State; supporter of Federalism and for States to have more power;push for greener more sustainable energy; leas policing on world affairs work more with UN; immigration reform via policies that offer more services to citizens and encourage individuals to become citizens.; doing away of the EEO/Affirmitive Action; doing away with Common Core; against state or federal benefits for Prisoners; doing away with Medicare replacing it with universal healthcare for seniors; for political campaign reform no funds from goverment or corporations to pay for political campaigns; pro Glass-Steagall Act; for privitizing social security and privitizing/doing away with federal government agencies; for putting prisons in state control with federal government oversight.

I think so, I am hearing reports that entire delegations (Iowa and Colorado) are walking out of the convention. This sounds like 1912 all over again.

Oh well, I will go join the Libertarians until the GOP becomes sane again. They'll spend some time in the wilderness and come out sounding like adults with 21st century solutions to 21st century problems.

The Republican Party is not dead, it has simply morphed into something very very ugly. Or they just tore the masks off, either way.
