It is funny how people say that it will take a few cycles for the GOP to work its way out Trump mode and elect a moderate.

It's funny because people don't like to vote for country club Republicans. Romney proved that. They only like to vote for Trumpers...racist populists who steal a few old democratic ideas and bang the white nationalism drum.

The GOP can't win either way, but white nationalist populism is what most of the GOP is hitching its star to right now.

But by the time the winds shift in the party, it will have permanently alienated for literally DECADES all the people they need to not become a backwoods, hoot and holler party.

By the time "old" Huntsman rolls around in '32, Texas and the entire SW will be gone, and it will not matter if Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, on and on have permanently transitioned.

It will be all over except in the rural moonscapes of America.

Then what is the purpose of Tim Scott, Daniel Cameron, John James and Antwan McClellan, black Republicans, and Nikki Haley?

I don't know, because many of those folks listed are radical Republican extremists. They may even have less of Trump's populism and old-line Democratic talking points than Trump.

As they will be running against other women and people of color, I wish them well with their welcoming and inclusive platforms LOL

I think alienating huge swaths of the electorate is more like it.

Hence the future GOP's great play in Idaho, parts of Wyoming and not much else!

It's called doubling down on being a loser!

The right has survived since 1789 in one form or another, I think they will manage.

GOP outlived Hoover and outlived Watergate.
I am pretty sure that GOP would survive beyond Trump and will nominate someone in November of 2056, two hundred years after first Republican ever ran for President.

I'd love to believe it but no, voters are more forgiving than you suppose, especially after a rebrand

If anything changes, it will be Democrats finally realizing that they can't just tip to scales for a "Generic D" every time and will have to let Populists win again or keep trying to find an "Obama" but that is like waiting for another "Reagan".
