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

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

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.

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