Will the Republican party survive Trump?

[Oneuli]

Blah blah blah, so on and so forth. OK whatever.

That's kind of the Platonic Ideal of the Deplorable post, right there. The details vary from post to post, but you captured the nihilistic essence of it.

I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want a Navy SEAL pissed -off at me.

You never know, you just might need him someday ...

The mission to get bin Laden was bipartisan. We all wanted to get him as soon as we could.

You are really stupid.

Your patter is stale. Try changing it up a bit.

he cant run from prison

In normal times, you would think a President with his hand in so many Cooky Jars, would be forced to Resign (and in return, be Pardoned by the newly installed President) and slink off into history.
But ... with Trump? His charm, his popularity, his brashness, his defiance, ... who knows?

He's captured the admiration of the conservative Flag Wavers, the Bible Thumpers LOVE him, and now ... maybe he is getting Corporate America to support him? All these Trade Deals he is making on a National Basis is TOTALLY outside the World Trade Organization norm, the body that usually decides 'Trade Rules'.

you should look at China's WTO violations

EU launches WTO case against China’s unfair technology transfer
http://trade.ec.europa.eu/doclib/pre...ex.cfm?id=1852

European companies coming to China are forced to grant ownership or usage rights of their technology to domestic Chinese entities and are deprived of the ability to freely negotiate market-based terms in technology transfer agreements.

This is at odds with the basic rights that companies should be enjoying under the WTO rules and disciplines, in particular under the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS Agreement).

The case initiated today by the EU targets specific provisions under the Chinese regulation on import and export of technologies (known as "TIER") and the regulation on Chinese-foreign equity joint ventures (known as "JV Regulation") that discriminate against non-Chinese companies and treat them worse than domestic ones.

These provisions violate WTO obligations to treat foreign companies on an equal footing with domestic ones, and to protect intellectual property like patents and undisclosed business information.

If consultations requested today do not reach a satisfactory solution within 60 days, the EU will be able to request that WTO sets up a panel to rule on the matter.

While the EU's request is similar to the one brought recently to the WTO by the US, it also identifies further potential violations of WTO rules.

decent analysis Jack.
History will tell the tale if Trump's populism was a one off, or a movement

Jack: I think you are right.

Off topic but are you a fan of the antisemitic Jeremy Corbyn?

There is no anti-Semitic Jeremy Corbyn. Zionist propaganda, kid, and peculiarly unconvincing.

Ahhhh. I'm not surprised by that response.

Heil Trump and all Nazi farts! You wouldn't know anti-Semitism if it bit you, Goebbels.

You notice Trump isn't waiting around for some kind of WTO 'Rulings'. I think that is what Corporate America likes about Trump, he goes in there and starts kicking over the tables of the 'status quo' when it comes to China (and other countries).

Let's see if Trump 'brings home the bacon', or just brings home a 'nothing burger'.

China has their little attack dog, North Korea on a leash, ... Trump has some balls just starting to fuck with China. You have to give him a little credit just for that.

[Nordberg]

The Republican party is gone. Trump walked in and killed it. Ryan fled and McConnell hid. They do not stand up to him at all. His craziness about the military is just accepted. Trump is the right now. The Republican party is dead. The deciding factor in red circles is how Trumpian are you. Insufficient Trumpiness results in defeat and Daffy ridiculing you.
Trump beat all the party regulars in the primaries. He drove Bush out easily and he is the establishment Repub. He slapped Cruz around, like a child. Raphael was supposed to be the power of the future Repubs. Rubio, Florina, Kasich all bullied off the stage. Without Trump, they have nobody.

He's captured the admiration of the conservative Flag Wavers ...

He's an ignorant, unprincipled con man, more than likely sociopathic, with a following of dupes and cultists.

If that's the basis for a Third Party, God help America.

[Truth Detector]

The Republican party took a real risk hitching itself to the Trump clown car... they've lost a lot of support among key groups like suburban women.. Trumps base is shrinking as poor working class whites realize they've been anally violated once again .. what do you see as the future for the republican party as it alienates hispanic immigrants and the white population ages and shrinks?

Did the Democratic Party survive Obamunism?
