Nobody said the GOP was dead? Joe it was the topic of the day at CNN and MSNBC for weeks after the election! Idiots like Rachel Maddow were predicting that the Republican Party might never recover from their crushing defeat and that Democrats would control Washington for decades. They were delusional enough to think that progressive policies were actually going to work and that the people would LOVE them for it! Two years later the GOP came back and steamrollered the Democrats! Barack Obama described it quite accurately as a "shellacking"!
When you have half of the Republican party that will not vote for this ass clown you are witnessing the destruction of the party. We will be going back to the days of Democrat rule, Republicans will be voting for blue dog Democrats, like they did in the 50's & 60's.
Hillary Clinton knows this--and you saw it at the DNC convention. They sounded more like a Republican convention than they did a Democrat convention. She was out to get the majority of the Republican party, aka moderates, aka Reaganites. And she's going to get them.
Right wing talk shows hosts and those that are attached at the hip to FOX NEWS have created this disaster, millions of Republicans will be voting for Hillary Clinton.
This party is no longer the party of Lincoln or Reagan. It is now the party of Trump. Stuffed full of ignorance, anger, fear, bigotry, misogyny and extremism, and no one votes for that. Here is the platform this year. WHO WRITES THIS SHIT?

It couldn't be better stated than in a 3 minute video from a long time friend and former staffer of RONALD REAGAN.
And it's also explained by this article.

You & your right wing talk show hosts have successfully shattered the Republican party into pieces. Which is why G.W. Bush stated he fears he will be the last Republican President.
Inside the GOP’s Shadow Convention
I was a Kasich supporter. The reason Trump is the GOP nominee is a combination of two things...a groundswell of popular support for someone who wasn't a career politician...and a main stream media that sucked all of the air out of the other candidates and focused all of their attention on Trump.
As for what the GOP will be moving forward? Quite frankly, I think you're overestimating the damage that will be done if Trump isn't elected. If the Democrats were electing someone who was going to succeed as President then the GOP might not rebound for the better part of a decade. That isn't the case however because your nominee is Hillary Clinton...someone who "postures" rather than leads. Four years of her and her political machine running things will do more for the Republican Party than the Contract with American did back in the 90's!
I really think Kasich would be running away with this right now.
Which is why the Clinton controlled media pushed Trump.
People still really should have been smart enough to pick Kasich... not once did I ever think trump was a better choice.
"People" decided they didn't want another politician. That sentiment is still alive and well. If Hillary Clinton wins in a month I can't see her doing anything but reinforcing people's belief that Washington is broken and could care less about them.
The question then becomes...who's going to step forward from outside the political world to give those people what they desperately want?
