The Republican Party, known by its nickname as the Grand Old Party, died on March 15, 2016. It was 162 years old. The party, born in the strife of the 1850s, succumbed to internal strife, sources said.

The GOP had been suffering from hopeless internal d******eness brought on by multiple sectors internally all claiming to be the “real conservatives” and no one ready to agree on a unifying theme. The party stopped breathing because of demographics that were stacked against it and its inability to adjust to a different America demographically, culturally, and having a worldview that didn’t recognize new global realities.

What accelerated its demise, however, was the consistent victories and accumulation of delegates by real estate mogul and reality television star Donald Trump. Party sources said that Trump was able to exploit fears of w***e A******ns who could not adjust to a changing America. One Trump supporter told us that “We grew up in an all-white America with Christian values. We look around and see immigrants, Muslims, people who are just not like us.” Others cited Supreme Court decisions that granted gay Americans the right to marry and legislation that expanded healthcare coverage to millions of previously uninsured Americans.

Party officials made last ditch efforts to revive the dying party but primary v**ers granted Trump victories in key states like Florida, Illinois and North Carolina. Given that Trump ran a campaign against party officials, eschewed the services of GOP policy elite advisers, ignored the role of campaign consultants, and—according to many party leaders—most likely did not believe much (if any) of the things he was saying, any effort by GOP establishment to stop Trump was doomed before it really began.

“How do you deny the nomination to someone who actually comes to the party’s convention with the most v**es? Are we a party that respects v**es or a party that bows to its elites?” said one Trump supporter.

But several of those party elites reiterated that “We just cannot go into this general e******n with a nominee who attacks Hispanics, Muslims, foreign nations, women and more.” Others noted that they simply cannot support Trump as a Republican candidate. Ironically, sources said, the very group—notably Millennials—who were not necessarily enthusiastic about likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton would probably raise their intensity level to v**e against Trump.

In short, according to GOP officials, “We had a choice to either accept Trump as our nominee or fight his nomination. Either way we lose.”

The GOP leaves behind millions of supporters identified as “real conservatives,” angry w****s who just could not adjust to change.

I may be dead wrong about this, especially since Hillary Clinton is a damaged candidate and the GOP has strong state parties that control the majority of state governorships and legislatures.

But after March 15, it appears that the GOP is heading towards some serious bloodletting. There may be some efforts to sit down and “make deals” with Donald Trump, but he has said a lot of things about a lot of people—and those statements are simply not going away.

The whole system has imploded, did anyone ever think they'd see someone like Sanders as popular as he seems to be?

Well it's about time! Now, if we could just figure out how to implode the Democratic party, we'll be getting somewhere, but maybe that's going to happen too. It is clear and has BEEN clear, that the DNC has anointed Hillary Clinton a long time ago - but Bernie Sanders didn't get the memo. By the time of the Dems convention, there might be some "sploding" going on there too - I hope.

Politics and government have always been the devils courtyard and playground, LJ, "left" from the beginning, going back to Pilate and Nero and the "boys." Since about 1897, when the world-media joined forces with the secular liberal progressive (D) politics in America, some rather foolish conservative "Constitutionalist" Republicans [and RINO's of course] have been under the impression that "crossing-the-aisle" was necessary to "move our country forward." But just as most college students know everything that could possibly be known about - Sarah Palin, for example, "WE" still have NO clue who "BHB" really is. Hummmmmmmmm. Rather diabolical, don't you think??? Just thank God that "WE" have had a "do nothing Congress" over the past few years, or instead of just confirming Cuba's stone-cold c*******t agenda, and Iran's stone-cold Theocracy, "WE" may have just t***sported the whole "Marx/Alinsky/Islamic" radical "left wing" ideology right into the WH!!! Hummmmmmm, again.

Well here we have more MSM spin.
However;

The Republican Party is being taken back by real Conservatives, from the Internationalist NeoCONS.
Trump is giving America a second chance. The PTB are pulling all stops. The vipers nest is being cleaned out.

The "red-diaper" Marx/Alinskyites have been working 24/7/365 on the likes of Bernie Sanders, 32, since about 1897, when the secular liberal progressive media joined forces with the secular liberal progressive (D's).
