Is the GOP on the verge of collapse?

[berg80]

The GOP is the conventional reference to the Repub party but we all know at this point in time it's the party of trump. He's pulling all the strings and has been for years now. If you challenge him or what he's doing in a meaningful way you get banished from the party. Open dissent is a political death wish for congressional Repubs.

So, with all the focus on his plunge in the polls on a broad array of issues something else needs to be explored. Namely, how popular were GOP positions on consequential issues prior to trump's freefall on the economy, immigration, and DOGE?

The majority of Americans tend to agree with Democrats on top issues, polling shows | CNN Politics

When it comes to considering the top political issues facing the country -- immigration, health care and gun control among them -- politicians in Congress can give the impression that the public is hopelessly divided on policy solutions.

Not very as it turns out.

trump got elected by capitalizing on the electoral reality of the sitting prez getting blamed for the country's ills. Primary among them being inflation. Inflation that's about to reignite when the full impact of the tariffs enters the economy's bloodstream.

In the next election cycle, and ones beyond that, with trump's influence waning, what issues will support Repub candidates seeing as their positions on the environment, access to abortions, gun control, saving the social safety net, always have been and will remain unpopular? Unless they change course and move to the center that is. They've gotten a lot of mileage over ginned up wedge issues like CRT in the past. But how long can that be sustained?

Well I hope not. We need two strong and serious parties. Right now we're at zero (0), and it's showing.

The Dems need to present a more viable alternative. And the GQP, well, I don't know.

Here’s your problem, your cult has a record low, 21 percent, approval rating..so as long as that’s the case, the gop will continue to win

You seem to be unable to grasp that, and apparently only stand for illegal terrorist and China…voters don’t support that

GOP collapsed under trump, the first time. They are just the MAGA party, now, still trading on the GOP name, Republicans in name only.

Democrat approval as a party stands at 21%.

This is pure gaslighting...

Deflection noted. Sad little thread.

Absolutely true. I should have asked, is the GOP (now the POT) in its current iteration on the verge of collapse?

"GQP" You're a pathetic little clown....

The only two parties you want is the Democrat Party and the Deep State Party.

You seem to be unable to grasp that, and apparently only stand for illegal terrorist and China…voters don’t support that

Republicans have gotten a lot of mileage over ginned up wedge issues for decades, that won’t change.

The GOP will adhere to its racist, bigoted agenda – lying about and vilifying immigrants, demonizing transgender Americans, propagating racist replacement theory, and exploiting white grievance politics.

so what is the republican latest approval rating?...

Meanwhile, over at Team Red, Jesus has the lowest 100-day approval rating in 80 (eighty) years.

GOP collapsed under trump, the first time. They are just the MAGA party, now, still trading on the GOP name, Republicans in name only.

But they've been able to exert influence from a position of being in the minority on policy positions. In part due to structural advantages like the EC and disproportionate representation of rural states in the Senate. And by gerrymandering districts as well as masterfully using wedge issues to both get out their base voters and misinform voters.

I'm asking if that model is sustainable?

They can fail all day long and if there's nothing to fill the vacuum it won't matter.

And I ain't seeing much outta the Democrats at this point.
