Destroy it. Scatter its ashes at sea. Salt the ground where it stood--heavy on the alkaline.

It'll be okay to build a new moderate party to replace it, but keep a leash on it and test frequently for old diseases--scorch and salt when necessary.

As I told a Republikan acquaintance on Facebook: you can choose to stand under the umbrella of tRump, or you can step out from under it. Your choice--your consequences.
