All of this plus Trump at the top of the ticket …….
What I find funny, in legislative primaries for Republicans, the more moderate and sane (in some cases, those terms are relative) candidates won the primaries, but in CO-03, the certifiable whack job won.
It's a big Go Figure.
True. The "known quantities" bit explains some of that.
I noticed that too. Has Dudley Brown been crowing about Yosemite Samantha's big win?
Not to mention Cory will have to defend the positions of his fellow GOP congressional candidate QAnnie Oakley.
ROTFLMAO!!
It is pretty strange when Motor Anus' friend, Steven House, is what passes for a moderate among the GOP congressional candidates.
Basically, we have three parties, Wacko Republicans (Racists, Christianist, Gun-nuts), Centrist Democrats and Progressive Democrats. The collapse in Republicans has been Moderate Republicans turning into Unaffiliateds. (Mainstreet Business Republicans are really a minimal number, which is why they cobble together the racist-christian-NRA coalition.)
This is not ALL good news.
We don't want the Republican Party to collapse entirely. Otherwise, we'll get Republicans coming over to participate in Democratic Party politics.
@ParkHill: why would you paint Mainstreet Republicans as “racist-christian-NRA” types?
Are you saying that Mainstreet Republicans belong in your Wacko category?
I have friends who are Main Street Republicans. My mom was a Main Street Republican. She was the sweetest, most compassionate person you will ever meet but since she lived alone for a number years, she would have Fox News on whenever I dropped by. Always like always. My dad was a Main Street Republican who would have been a Never Trumper. He would have hated the racial bigotry. Unfortunately the two I can name are deceased and the rest of the relatives are cult members and shunned when it comes to politics. I don't want to talk to them about it because I don't want to evaluate them as Trumpers.
Face it CHB, the street on which you once lived has left the neighborhood and moved to places unrecognizable . . .
. . . your current neighborhood was rezoned, then condemned, and is soon to be completely leveled to build a brand new reality off-ramp.
You have been keeping up with all those public notices?
Ike ain’t coming back . . .
Dio: seems like you have yet to figure out that I march to the beat of my own drummer. As for Ike, I have a couple of I Like Ike campaign buttons somewhere. But I was just a kid in those years.
But never fear. Better days are ahead and will begin to re-emerge after Putin's boy-toy loses in November.
Then we’re in agreement, . . .
. . . today’s Republican Mainstreet is a place where you ain’t.
I hate to rain on your parade, CHB, but after Putin's boy-toy leaves, all hell is going to break loose in the GOP.
The Establishment GOP (Bush family, Mitt Romney) will try to regain control of the party but even without Trump, there are plenty of Trump Wannabes who will pick up the mantle of racism and xenophobia and offer to lead the Deplorables and the Irredeemables in the next campaign.
The only question is whether the GOP is worth fighting over.
Yes. That IS the question.
Can the GOP be resurrected? It won't be in three days?
Aside from the difficulties you raise, the Republican Party is a name, a brand, an infrastructure and an allegiance. While it needs to die (for lots of reasons), the establishment can't very easily create a new Party because they'll lose all that branding and infrastructure.
Parties do rebrand themselves…modern Republicans love to remind us all that Republican and Democratic parties switched sides on slavery and civil rights. Dems were the pro-slavery party, Republicans the “ anti”.
Someone who has studied more of that history than me, tell us how that happened, how painful it was, and how long it took.

For contrast, the 2020 Presidential priary
I left the Republican party in 2009 after a couple of decades as a member. Anyone paying attention then knew this day was coming. I'd encourage any common sense pragmatist from the party of Lincoln to do the same thing. I do believe we need a strong, two-party system but I don't see a pathway for that on the horizon. I appreciate CHB's loyalty and his core convictions – but I'm not as optimistic as he may be about the return of the 'small c' conservatives driving the party agenda anytime soon.
Amen, Michael.
