    Then abandon the Republican party, because he represents them.

    That's not just "mean democrat insulting you" - it's just a simple statement of fact.

    If you can't agree with the rational axiom that the Republican nominee for President is, by definition, Republican, aside from all of the other data that confirms this, you shouldn't be discussing it.

    I understand he's not the Republican that you want, but he's the one that you have and this is largely due to the positions to which Republicans like you have gravitated towards in the last 30 years or so (but particularly in the last 8).

    Why would I abandon the Republican party because they nominate one bad candidate? He'll lose and we'll move on.

    Which issues have Republicans "like me" gravitated towards that led to Donald Trump's nomination??

    You aren't leaving the Republican party, the Republican party is leaving you.

    You've embraced the southern strategy, turned away minorities and women due to your backwards social policies, and have said nothing while people in your party have said crazier and crazier things about Obama and the Dems.

    It's true though. The reason Trump got nominated is that the Republican party turned its back on minorities and women. Deal with the results.

    The Republican party will cease to exist in 20 years, why because the demographics no longer justify it. In 20 years America will have what is currently the Democratic party and a more liberal, leftist party (think Bernie Sanders) as the two main parties.

    The Republican party did not "turn on minorities and women." What a load of crap. They don't pander to minorities like Democrats, true. They don't campaign in heavy democrat areas, which happen to also be minorities -- why? Not because of racism, but because it's inefficient use of campaign funds to go after votes you don't anticipate ever achieving. The Republican Party of Texas is making an effort to encourage a change in tactics and have progressively been campaigning more and more in minority areas. Campaigns don't follow colors, they follow dollars, votes, and data.

    When did Republicans turn on women? You mean because they're pro-life? You do understand that many woman are pro-life too, right?

    And you wonder why Trump was nominated? Because many people don't WANT to see two liberal parties and they're sick of the status quo -- so many people nominated an arrogant loud jackass because, at the very least, he won't hold back on calling out the bullshit in Washington...at least that's how he has presented himself to the electorate. Much of America does not want liberal socialist policies. The Republican partly will likely splinter and lose elections for the next decade because of it, but they won't disappear and they'll be better for it.

    As I tell all those Republicans I argue with about how stupid it was to nominate Trump, you put us in the situation to vote against our own nominee and they'll be responsible for the damage it does to the party. But it's not going to end the Republican party, much to your chagrin. If anything, it might be a good thing as Trump has brought out the crazies and hopefully they're put back to bed when he loses in a few weeks.

    This is the perception of minorities and women.

    Yet, you purport to know better.

    This is why you are losing. You are the problem, which is why Trump owns you, and you own Trump.

    People self-identify as Republicans even when they hold many anti-Republican ideals. There is a simple effectiveness of defining what is a Republican by what the self-identified majority thinks
    I wonder if 2016 might be another Southern Strategy-like inflection point for party politics. Maybe the two major parties will re-align as populist vs. establishment.

    lol -- the infamous southern strategy does not prove Republicans are racists, it proves that Nixon put politics and winning above morals. It also doesn't prove that this is the reason white southerns switched to the Republican party -- that trend began in the 20s and some areas in the south ALWAYS voted Republican.

    I don't have to repeat anything of mine - I'll just repeat yours, they are literally perfect in crystallizing the blind spot that is contributing to your obsolescence.

    I suspect @Kevooooo just goes home at night, watches tapes of George W. Bush bumbling through spanish phrases in the 1990's, while reading old David Brooks columns, and says 'the alt right doesn't exist, this isn't happening" over and over again while wrapping himself in a blanket at night.
