The Republican Party has taken a direct hit amidships during this election season and the only question now is whether the vessel can – or should – be saved.Dramatic changes in our political landscape are certain, beginning on November 9, whether Donald Trump wins or loses.
These changes will, however, affect only the Republican Party. The Democratic Party will remain unchanged, lumbering along in its big government, high tax, pro-abortion, pro-gay ways for the simple reason that Democrats are true believers. They really believe in all those things.
The problem for the GOP establishment is that they know their base actually believes in the platform
so they have to sort of pretend they do too.
The conservative base is fed up to here with the feckless band of men who fancy themselves their leaders. And Donald Trump is the result.
The GOP is hopelessly fractured over Trump. The GOP leadership wouldn't endorse Trump, then they did, then they un-endorsed him, then they reversed their un-endorsements. You could get vertigo watching these guys bob and weave.
If Trump wins,
it will be very bad for the GOP establishment. They will have been decisively repudiated by their own candidate and by the base. They will have nothing but their fat cat friends, and there aren't enough of them to win a council seat in a small village.
If Trump loses, it will be worse.
The base will desert the party in droves and it will cease to exist as a functional force. Someone once said if you think you are leading but nobody is following, you're not leading, you're just taking a walk. It will be a lonely path for the Mitch McConnells and the Paul Ryans of the world.
