We are witnessing the implosion of the Republican party right before our eyes


No Speaker of the House, and no "reputable" candidate even wants the job. Donald Trump, Ben Carson, and Carly Fiorina, three novices who are woefully under-qualified to be president, are leading the entire field of nominees. Two "stars" of the Republican party, Rick Perry and Scott Walker dropped out of the running for the nomination months before Iowa. The former House Majority Whip is defeated in a primary election. Another former "star", Bob McDonell, is heading to prison.

No clear leader. No agenda that speaks to the American people. An oft-mocked, propaganda network posing as a news network is running the show. Losers of the popular vote in 3 of the last 4 presidential elections. Have to rely on gerrymandering, voter suppression, and low voter turnout in order to win elections. No women in leadership roles in the House. African Americans, Latinos, and Women pretty much hate them.

This is a party dying in front of our eyes.

Oh dear.... how will we ever win?

1. So does that mean after the Nov 2016 elections they won't still control the House and Senate? n/t

ouch.

4. Due to gerrymandering and low voter turnout...

They can remain in "control", but that's due to state and local election bullshit more than a real mandate from the people. Yet, as we can see, when they get control they cannot govern. They cannot even get themselves organized.

If only the people understood what we are saying! [/democratic politicians]

5. I am also making a smoothie to watch the long overdue carnage.

Keep laughing when Hillary is taken to jail.

22. That's the key: How much damage will they do before the majority of Americans finally say, "**** off, GOPpers, and take the horse your Gipper rode in on with you."? The carnage will be ugly, and the long-term consequences will be massive. I definitely will NOT miss the dinosaurs, but we'll be smelling their dying stench for decades

11. The reasons why the Republican Party is not imploding are two-fold.

The media will legitimize them and rehabilitate them whenever needed. WHENEVER needed.

The Democratic Party will prop them up instead of destroying them. MOST elected Democratic politicians fall all over themselves to strive towards being bipartisan with politicians that are cravenly corrupt and sociopathic. By not truly fighting the Republican Party (and they have TONS of ammunition), it allows for far too many Americans to conclude that both parties are corrupt. Hence low voter turnout. Hence Republican control of the House, Senate, and a large majority of state legislatures and governorships.

The Republican Party is absolutely pathetic (and has been for a very long time). And they control a large majority of federal and state government positions right now.

What does that say about our current Establishment Democratic politicians?

16. The Republican Party will never implode until . . .

. . . the millions of morons who continue to vote for them and thereby against their own best interests implode as well.

Is that a death threat? It sounds like a death threat.



^ Dump Monkiez eradicating the republican vote.

OH NO.

The horror of it all; WE'RE DOOMED.

The primitives say so, so it must be so.

We're doomed.

[DumbAss Tanker]

Way too much is being made of this.  It's a pot that boiled over due to internal problems with the way the Republican leadership chose to treat the populists in their ranks, who proved less submissive and less-easily-co-opted into the Beltway system than the leaders originally estimated.  It will work itself out, with or without the hysterical end-of-the-world shrieking from pundits left and right.

Two names lurking idiots.

Tom Foley.
Jim Wright.

This is nothing.

We win the House in 2010 because of Obama.

We win the Senate in 2014 because of Obama.

Boahner is kicked out for not capitalizing on these mandates.

McCarthy is bounced before he begins for being Boehner's heir-head apparent.

Yeah. We're imploding.

[SVPete]

With the wheels coming off Tsaritsa CHILL's bus and Bernie still out looking for wheels for his tuk-tuk, can you blame DU-folk and other Libs/Progs Himalayanizing this molehill?

The GOPe might be imploding, but conservatism is on the rise. It's disappointing when you see "conservatives" giving up on solid, popular, winning issues because "politics".

There needs to be a leader, and their first (and only) priority should be to WRITE A BUDGET that takes baseline budgeting out of the calculation. I don't care if all they do is fund every department at 2014 levels, take that baseline crap and flush it. It should be an easy sell to the public, just GO ON THE NEWS and say "Washington is going to write their budgets the same way American families do, starting from zero and paying the necessities."

And as usual, they get everything wrong.  "The media's propping them up!"  they keep saying to each other over and over.  We're not imploding, but hopefully we've evolving.

If there is an implosion, it is a good thing. The GOP establishment was elected to office in droves with the promise to stop Obama's agenda. Instead they cave at every opportunity.

An implosion would be a good thing.

Buildings are imploded when they need to be replaced...

Not that big of a deal, DUmbasses.

Unlike you lockstepping monkeys, the GOP is capable of evolution. All I see is the Status-quo big-government RINOs being taken to the woodshed and replaced with a genuine opposition party.

Maybe.. Just maybe, there are some members of the GOP who still have balls. - And if that turns out to be true, you primitives are going to long for the days of Boehner. 

[thundley4]

It's more of an implosion of the GOP, aka Grand OLD Party and an explosion of the Grand New  Conservative Party. 

DUmmies should start planning their moves to foreign countries in earnest.

Is there a sign-up sheet we can get on to ensure that goes as smoothly and residue-free, I mean trouble-free,  as possible?

Or a gofundme to pay for the moving costs?
