Erik Erikson: America, you're watching the beginning of the end of the Republican Party

[Statistikhengst]

An OP-ED from FOX News, that liberal news outlet:

America, you're watching the beginning of the end of the Republican Party | Fox News

The beginning of the end of the Republican Party has started. On Friday, I told you the Republican Party is dying. Then, yesterday, Ross Douthat in the New York Times echoed my key point.

Mine was that the Republican leaders in Washington would see the decline of Donald Trump as proof that they need do nothing to change. Like the Bourbons of France, they’d forget nothing and learn nothing.

On Sunday, Douthat wrote, “In an unhealthy system, the kind I suspect we inhabit, the Republicans will find a way to crush Trump without adapting to his message. In which case the pressure the Donald has tapped will continue to build — and when it bursts, the G.O.P. as we know it may go with it.”...


...In short, the GOP has become so incestuous it continues to hemorrhage and will die. It cannot adapt because the key consultants it has shaping its future are wedded to the capital that comes from not changing.

It should be eye opening to the Republican leaders in Washinton that Ross Douthat and I have come to the same conclusion — they will not recognize the need to change and will therefore die.

Oh, I'm not so sure I believe that. There are plenty of Whigs still out there.
And other Conservatives will claim that Erik Erikson is just tasting sour grapes after the kerfluffle with the Trumpublican.

But what I do find interesting is that FOX allowed this Op-ed to go to print. That is the real story here.

Could anyone imagine FOX allowing such a write-up during the Bush 43 presidency?

There are two sentences in the quote above that are hyperlinked. It would be helpful for you to read them as well.

The tea party is taking it over and they intend to cut, slash and burn everything. Our science institutions = say good bye! Clean air, water and food standards???? That is going bye bye! Regulations on businesses bye!

These fucking kooks think somalia is a model to strive for.

 

[candycorn]

It is hard to see the various factions now infesting the GOP coming together. Religious/culture conflicts cannot be negotiated into true and lasting peace...just a truce. And as soon as the reason for the truce disappoints one side or the other; it's cast aside.

 

[JoeB131]

the only thing holding the GOP together right now is their hate for Obama.

 

[sarahgop]

I thought the party ended when they became asslickers.

 

[Statistikhengst]

Something they will not have in 2016. Unless they can hate Hillary as much as they hate Obama.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

We need to destarkify the Republican Party, it's a good thing. Hillary the criminal calls us Terrorists and there's not a peek from our "leadership"

 

[Claudette]

The Republican party will end about the same time the Democratic party ends.

That will be never. People are such idiots.

Democrats have lost about 9000 seats nationwide since 2008. Their presidential candidates consist of a woman under investigation by the FBI and Justice Department, a 73yr old Socialist, a man who apologized for saying "all lives matter", and a one term VA congressman with virtually no chance of winning anything. Their Congressional leadership is made up of people in their 60s and 70s. A majority of governorships are held by the GOP, as are a majority of state houses.
Remind me how the GOP is dying.

It is not

The Republican party is reforming. Only people that think it is dying are overly optimistic Democrats and Republicans who are entrenched with the current leadership.

There is a relationship between death and renewal. Death marks the old and decadent for removal in the renewal process.

Well, then, write that to Erik Erikson. Oh, and you didn't read my commentary in the OP, eh?

That's ok, reading is not really your forte. Stick with these.

 

[SwimExpert]

For the past 15 years I've been surfing political messageboards, and in all that time there has only be one common subject continually brought up for discussion: "The end of the _________ party is finally coming!"

Bunch of fucking deranged lunatics.

 

[Zander]

Erikson is wrong, again. The GOP is not going away, it's changing. The rank and file are "mad as hell".

It's not unexpected after watching these idiots lose 2 winnable elections for POTUS, and do nothing with solid majorities in both houses.

I think it's a good thing.

You'ev demonstrated your inability to read in several languages already. No need for further proof.
The truth is the Dems are finished. After this election you will see headline asking "Do the Dems have a future?"

 

[blastoff]

the only thing holding the GOP together right now is their hate for Obama.

Which will be gone first, Joey...Rush's show or the party?

Erik Erikson: America, you're watching the beginning of the end of the Republican Party


This is what, the 347th time in the last 30 years that someone has announced the Republican party will die soon?

Far more of these doomsayers have gotten fired from their positions, than the number of times the Republican party has died.

That said, the Republican party has a chance of going away, at least in the form it presently is. It used to be somewhat conservative, supporting lower taxes, less regulation, more personal responsibility and freedom, and generally smaller government. In the last twenty years, they have thrown a lot of that away, and so alienated the majority of Americans, who are in fact conservative and want less government.

 

[Little-Acorn]

But what I do find interesting is that FOX allowed this Op-ed to go to print. That is the real story here.

Fox has aired and discussed many such announcements, examining them from both sides as they usually do (and most other outlets don't).

As usual, our liberal fanatics are baffled when normal people don't follow the liberal lies and talking points. When the liberals run into a common occurrence they can't (or don't dare to) explain, they try to pretend it's unusual while ignoring its regularity.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Ive seen this same op ed for the dems and the repubs so many times...but unfortunately both parties always come back. They're like herpes.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

We know the Republican Establish is fucking us and we're taking steps to deal with them
