If Trump gets crushed, what's next for the GOP?

[pbrower2a]

We have yet to  know what sort of President Hillary Clinton will be. We really cannot say much yet, and are fools to speak except in generalities about the election of 2020. The two biggest landslides by Republicans and the last landslide of Democrats in Presidential elections did not lead to long-term dominance of their Parties in Presidential elections. One needs a Lincoln or FDR for that.

Of course, Republicans will scramble to avoid a similar defeat. They will form their nomination process so that they never get a nominee like Donald Trump again. Think about it: so concerned about getting another George McGovern in 1976, the Democrats got Jimmy Carter instead.

I am tempted to say that Republicans will have trouble winning elections so long as they demonize Barack Obama. Doing so insults people who voted for him and people who still think him a good-to-great President. One does not win by calling into question the wisdom of people who voted 'wrong' in the last election, because those people will be voting in the next election. Think about it: Bill Clinton said little bad about Ronald Reagan. He won.   Republicans might as well accept Barack Obama as the closest thing that the Democrats had to Ronald Reagan.
