GT1900, While I stand by what I wrote, I think the real issue is not that the GOP is in trouble, as you are suggesting, but that both parties, as representatives of the Washington elite status quo, are in trouble.

That's why the ultimate Democratic outsider, Bernie Saunders, nearly beat the ultimate insider, Hillary Clinton, who had the entire backing of the DNC, in the primaries.

It is why Trump beat all comers in the Republican primaries despite being written off as a joke at every turn and why Trump beat the strongest political machine, the Clintons, in history, in the general election.

Both parties, as they have been constituted, for the last 60 years, are in trouble. They both need to do a much better job of listening to and representing their constituents.

The world cries out for such: he is needed & needed badly- the man who can carry a message to Garcia
