Hey, Dems! Let's NOT help revive the GOP!

If you have the urge to tell the GOP what to do to improve their future prospects: Stop it! Do not help them.

Let them figure it out. Who cares if their party dwindles and turns into dust and no Latino person ever again votes for them? That is not our problem. It's theirs.

I am not giving them hints and ideas for fixing that hateful ugly party to make it more salable in the future. Why? So they can bait & switch & divide & conquer us? Oh hell no!

I want the GOP to shrink small enough to drown in a bathtub. The sooner the better, far as I am concerned.

The GOP is like some sick old drug addict, there is NO fix, they have to hit bottom and hard.

by rejecting all of their ideas, period. No more reaching out, no more 1/2-way bullshit. Enact a Dem agenda. People will love it.

Ari Fleischer was right, they'll never accept LGBTQ folks, they'll never become pro-choice, they'll still hold antiquated ideas about women and more than likely, they will continue to be a proving and gathering ground for racists. There's no fixin' that.

"There are two types of Republicans: Billionaires and Suckers"

The fact that our party thinks there's anything in there that we want is beyond insane.

The Billionaires will always be about themselves. The people who worship them will always be there.

We don't have to be part of it, and we can let them be the very small minority that they really are.

They should make that the whole focus of their national strategy in all 50 states.
