Charlie Sykes sounds very much like I do. He skirts around it but it looks like he would support rolling back the GOP to the Eisenhower 1956 Republican Party Plank.

I kind of wish I hadn't seen that.
I think that the political global situation "after" the elections will be very different that "now" .
A lot of questions are asked, and firstly the question (for both parties) of the great voters .
But an other question will be posed : the responsability of each party in term of choice of a candidate.
The actual situation is not a surprise ,it's the direct and logic consequence of the choice of a so atipical personality .
The problems were not "previsible" but "sure", and thus the choice of that man has no other reason that to have the power without take care of the consequences ... Thus for me an explosion of the republican party is "possible" .
The Republican Party being described doesn't/didn't exist. Balanced Budgets, conservative values, free trade, just didn't happen. As they described, Reagan tripled the Debt, and GOP presidents ever since grew the Debt.
Conservative values, like in US Supreme court justices. Trump passes that test.
Free Trade? Bullshit. The old GOP only wants to move US factories overseas, and have unfair trade deals.
The Old GOP is dead. Its been replaced by the new "non-racist" populist GOP.
Trump actually did more for minorities than the Obama admin did in their 8-years.
So IMHO Never-Trumpers can just drop dead.

How so? You counting on the USPS to decide the election?The Republican Party being described doesn't/didn't exist. Balanced Budgets, conservative values, free trade, just didn't happen. As they described, Reagan tripled the Debt, and GOP presidents ever since grew the Debt.

Pack your bags. You are going on a very looooooong vacation. And a very lonely one.

There is nothing at this time we can do to fix the Democratic Party. It's broken as well. But with the Republican party being even more shattered, there is no incentive to fix the Democratic Party. We need to have a decent opposition party to go against the Democratic Party and send them a message. If we go back to the 1956 plank like some of us want to, the Dems will go into a tailspin they have never experienced before.

Truly a different party.

It surely isn't what it was. It's been overtaken, for now at least, by people who don't worry about promoting "conservative values" or "limited government". They're thrown their lot behind a vulgar, flamboyant, un-conservative, authoritarian, nationalist strongman who is essentially his own party.
We'll see how it recovers once he's gone. But we need it to recover, because we need two strong, viable, credible parties. At LEAST two.
Think about it, Kennedy sounded more like a conservative, and one that today's leftest would reject....
And finally, I loved "right now, I think politics is more about values. I can disagree with you on eight out of ten specific policy issues, but if I think that you are an honorable, decent, empathetic person, we can do business". Outstanding.
I like the way Sykes brings up the possibility of an informal "center-left/center-right coalition". That would save us from having to reform the two "major" whacked-out parties.
