Did you hear the GOP is about to die?

https://newrepublic.com/article/132094/republican-party-donald-trump

"One way or another, the Republican Party is about to rupture—the only question is from which side...."

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/28/us/politics/donald-trump-republican-voters.html?_r=0

"As the Republican Party collapses on itself, conservative leaders struggling to explain Mr. Trump’s appeal have largely seized on his unique qualities as a candidate.... Others ascribe Mr. Trump’s rise to the xenophobia and racism of Americans angry over their declining power."

http://www.cnn.com/2016/03/24/opinions/republicans-slow-motion-implosion-opinion-axelrod/

"Privately, and to some degree publicly, Republicans seem resigned to death in November by fire or by hanging."

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/28/opinion/republican-self-destruction.html

"Indeed, the entirety of the Republican Party seems dead set on convincing voters that it has lost its way and is spinning out of control, consumed with anger and devoid of answers."

Hooray! Let me know where they bury the GOP so I can pee on their grave. Can I afford health care now? But let me tell you something important: evil never dies, and in that sense the Republican Party will always live in the hearts of asshole-Americans.

Because I am very, very old now. How old, you ask?

I am quite old. There was a point to this but I forget what it was.

The elites in DC are just making it official that it has been reincarnated as the Democratic party.

Think of it as a snake shedding its old skin for a new skin.
