What is the future of the Republican Party?

Dr. Strangelove said:
I'm new to this thread, but the GOP is going to continue to do well in Gubernatorial elections. They will dominate the Senate. It's already evident that McConnell is moving the party back to the Obama era Republican playbook.

Voters will not punish the GOP, as punishing the GOP means voting for Democrats. This tantamount to a rejection of their very being. 

My prediction is that by 2024 the GOP will recover, while using Trumpism for certain elections where it fits. By 2028 the GOP will return to the subtle-racist policies they've championed for decades (replacing Trumpisms' open racism). The GOP is like the Borg, they aren't going anywhere.

The GOP does not have racist policies.  Just cause you say it, doesn’t actually make it so.

I'm not sure you understand the purpose of voter ID laws.

Or what Reagan meant when he spoke about Wellfare Queens.

I will however concede that many policies pursued by Democrats and Republicans have racist undertones, such as the war on drugs.

I love how the past four years have been full of "well, he isn't an ideal personality, but at least I agree with his conservative politics"

Now its, "so what if conservatives disagree with his politics? We need to ditch those losers!"

l would love for a MAGA head to actually explain to me how the last 4 years of Trump have shown he's a champion of conservative values.

They can't, because he wasn't.

And he's capping it off with attempting to assert power of the federal government over the states elections.  I mean, isn't the bedrock of conservative government to keep as much power in the individual states as possible?  And even more, local government?

I love how all the far left liberals on this site try and explain what conservatism is and the policies it fights for.  
 

Romney, and McCain were globalist Republicans not conservatives.

I love how you think this site is full of "far left liberals"

You say "globalist", I say "free market".
