In case you haven't noticed, Trump has held the GOP as hostage from the beginning. Now he . . . . .

In the end, and, the end is now, Trump has blown-up meaningful party hierarchy. The Party either installs Trump as the 2016 candidate, or face division and subsequent defeat. Trump is in the driver's seat and there is no one riding "shotgun." I have said it before, but "the GOP gets exactly what it deserves" as we watch the teaparty disembowel itself. Too bad anarchy is the only remaining path to party reform . . . . . but that is where we are. And when the Confederate One Toothers crawl back under their respective rocks, the Conservative nation will be left with the task of putting together a structured opposition to the Communist Revolution within the Democrat Party. So I ask, in light of this rather daunting task, why the heck should I feel compelled to feel any obligation to the GOP, or the teaparty, for that matter? I can't think of a single reason that does not include "putting off the inevitable."

Oh well. The first 240 years seemed to be filled with good idea.
