If Trump does get the nomination, I think you are going to see a major dustup in the GOP as the people that actually care about the nation in that party tell the hyper 'Conservatives' to get lost. The drubbing they get in the General Election will be the turning point for that party. And they won't be kind to the obese junkie on the AM radio.
Yeah...the GOP should listen to you and nominate a clone of W, McCant, or Mitty...since they were so clearly wonderful.
If the Democrat in 2016 gets about 400 electorial votes, then that will have been such a clear repudiation of the direction in which the GOP has gone in the last 8 years that there will be major changes within the GOP or it will go the way of the Whigs.
This could be the last election for the GOP as we know it. If Cruz gets the nomination, there will be no more excuses about the nominee not being conservative enough. With all of the new restrictions put in place, there can no longer be any serious claim to voter fraud. With a well known political opponent in HRC, there cannot be a claim as to having run into a buzz saw that came out of nowhere. The only reasonable conclusion would be that the message was rejected (and that leaves the GOP with calling the voters stupid which is a cop-out anyway). If the message is rejected, that means the party is rejected.

Assuming you are right, which is not likely, the end of the of GOP would be wonderful consequence of this election.
Of course, you want the GOP to be more like the D party, when it is clear to thinking people, it already is.
I tried to keep it short and sweet so you might comprehend Candycorny...did I succeed?
You've gone a whole post without calling someone a name (pretty much). The only insult was to common sense. There is a reason why the GOP has lost 5 of the last 6 popular votes when the people were polled. It isn't because the message from the Democrats isn't popular. That is the first lesson. The second lesson is that to be the polar opposite of the more popular position, in politics where it is winner take all, is a sure way to make your party irrelevant in a hurry.
I'll explain it to you but I'm sure it will be too long for you to stretch your attention span into covering....
The Congress isn't MIA because it wants to be; it is because they can do nothing since a victory to them is only attainable through total capitulation of the opposition and that isn't going to happen with this President and 46 Democrats in the Senate. So you have a marginalized House and a do-nothing Majority in the Senate.
How'd you like last week's budget deal that funded PP?
To insist that you have to be the opposite is flat out silly when the opposite of some (not all) liberal positions is a losing proposition. Take PP funding for example. PP isn't funded; I believe it is Title X is funded and PP gets a chunk of that money through a bidding process. It provides low-cost (or no costs) contraception through a partnership with drug makers and public health entities. This gives women pap smears to detect uterine cancers, pregnancy screenings, and contraceptives to prevent them.
Prevention costs about pennies per day through this partnership.
Cutting the funding for these contraceptives will result in unwanted pregnancies and serious spending on welfare down the road. If you think it's bad now, wait until there are 5-10 million more births per year or so. I guess the GOP solution to that would be forced sterilization and other proactive measures....
Anyway, I know that was a lot for you to take in but if some of it got through, you're a much better person thanks to me.
