The disintegration of one of our two major political parties.

We will see.

Things are already interesting and will get more so come January and the Democrats start holding open hearings.

8. It's the Trumpist party now.

It’s been nearly wiped out in CA, OR, WA, NY, NJ and New England. It’s on the edge in MI.

I think 2020 will be the death blow. It’s either the Repuke party or the republic that goes.

it isn't.

They may make occasional mouth sounds of not being in agreement with the Circus Peanut, but in the end, they all capitulate and do his bidding.

11. Trump's doing

He has single-handedly changed the party of Lincoln and Ray-Gun to a Russia loving, America hating, racist, xenophobic, homophobic, misogynist and fiscally irresponsible mob subservient to him and him alone.

Underestimate the cockroaches' ability to survive and "thrive" at your own peril.

These fuckers will never go away. They'll just devolve into a different type of cockroach.

13. Those GOP Senators trying to do their Constitutional duty had better learn their place.

If they don't watch out, Trump will campaign for them in 2020.

A dark tent with no light is still a tent, and it holds a LOT of Republicans.

18. Just because the GOP is fracturing is not a predictor

of any impending demise of the Republican Party. I've heard that kind of prediction before.
The GOP will never die as long as there are those on the Left who are not vigilant and become complacent, either self-suppressing their votes by not bothering to show up or simply by not voting for the Democratic candidates when it's going to be either them or the Republicans that win in nearly every race.

And even if the GOP were truly fracturing, it's not going to be fun to watch. Who actually believes that such a thing could happen without people getting hurt in one way or another, innocent people, people on the Left.
Also, never underestimate the ability of the Left, of Democrats, to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Those who dance and gloat and celebrate last, dance and gloat and celebrate best.
The clearest path to victory and success is to keep fighting the good battle until the end and not counting on your opposition to collapse.

individuals are refusing to participate in the charade, and that's never bad....
