Understand that the GOP has been forever changed. Not because of Trump, but rather, because of the progressive agenda of its feckless leadership over the past. The conservative base, ignored and neutered by GOP leadership, is making its last stand with this election cycle. It began with the 2006 midterms election, when the base stayed home, tired of the big spending, abortion loving, housing for all agenda of the Bush Family and their hold on the Grand Old Party. The "stay at home" revolt gave the House and the Senate back to the European Socialists within the Democrat Party. Still, GOP leadership did not get the message, nominated John "Big Government" McCain in 2008, and, again, millions stayed home, giving the Muslim Apologist, Barack Obama card blanc for the first two years of his presidency. In 2010, the teaparty was born, and that election cycle took back the House for the GOP. John Boehner, new Speaker of the House, promptly began an assault against the conservative base that gave him his power. Boehner and his Big Government buds, worked to move the party away from the conservative influence, nominated Mitt Romney, and promptly lost that national election (2012). Then came 2014 and the most one sided midterm election in American history. Eric Cantor was voted out of office, and, before 2015 was finished, John Boehner was forced into retirement. The 2016 primary was dominated by conservatives, and the failure of John Kasich/Jeb Bush tandem was the most telling result. Their failure spelled the end of Progressive Party rule. Trump, as you know, won the nomination. His base, 10 to 12 million strong, will never go back to the way things were, before this election cycle. Clearly, Paul Ryan, John Kasich, Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney, John McCain, and other Big Government progressives have not surrendered to the new reality. But, should Trump lose this election, the GOP will be out of power for, at least, a generation. G.W. Bush's commentary, featured below, is a reminder of the stubborn phoniness of the GOP progressives ~ editor.

'I'm worried that I will be the last Republican president': George W. Bush's doomsday warning about party's future to secret meeting of its establishment revealed

In April, when 1,000 Bush Administration alumni gathered for a picnic in Texas, President George W. Bush voiced some concerns
The former president told a smaller group of advisers at the event that he thought Donald Trump could end the Republican Party
Now with the convention happening in Cleveland, Republicans thinking of the party's future are plotting a separate course from Trump

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."

If you take the Iraq War out of tjhe mixed, there is very little difference between Bill Clinton and GW Bush (and his whole family).
