The inevitable collapse of the GOP, fostered by Trump being Trump, makes me speculate.

[Augiedog]

I am speculating about what will arise from the ashes of the trumpster fire. The GOP can't be willing to just go away as I might wish, so what will take its place ? Well I think Capt Khans father gave us a hint. He called Trump a "...black soul...". Therein resides the seed of the future for the GOP. The BSP. Yes, the Black Soul Party. They can put out signs saying Black Souls Matter as they slime their way across the nation rebuilding their soulless ideology, resurrecting racism, misogyny and a general hate for all things not white, male or suitable for the golf course. I freely give and assign to the Trumps of the world fair use of BSM and BSP. A goats head would be a fine symbol for the newly risen party, along with a pentagram pin which can be worn proudly on the lapel of the newly fashionable capes they will adopt.

3. We have written the GOP's obituary before

They are snake like, cut off the head and just keeps going.

5. The second coming of Ted Cruz

He's betting on the GOP discombobulating over Trump
so he can ride in and save what's left.
Unfortunately, that's a Trump 2 double down on narcissism.
The GOP may have to fail several times in a dead cat bounce.

7. Donald Trump is Pennywise the Clown

When he loses, they will nominate John Wayne Gacey.
You're correct to be concerned, we need to be ready.

8. The way I see it..

The Republican Party's best shot is if the youth of today get more conservative as they grow older. Otherwise they'll gradually keep losing influence on the national scene. You'll still have some 'holdout' states in the bible belt, but their grip on national politics will be done for.

The only other way the R party survives is if they stop offending everybody outside of straight, white, older males. AKA they would need to dramatically revamp the party platform.
