Karl Rove on Chris Wallace: "It will take years for the Republican Party to rebuild"

[Cinnabar]

Hate to say I called it. Well, I don't - but I certainly wasn't the only one.

I don't like to see it, though. We need at least 2 strong parties in the U.S. One decided to take a detour down the rabbit hole, and he's right - it will take them many years to recover.

There is nothing worth recovering.

My guess is the evening of the 20th.

The Trump base is their biggest obstacle.

There's an old saying that diplomacy is learning how to say "Nice Doggie" while reaching for a rock. The indications are the rebuild will take "several" years. To me that's six years; Harris's midterms.

trump's base will block(or attempt to block) any rebuilding in the Republican Party for years to come. It will be brutal.

Good! Can anyone point to even one policy the Republi-cons have advocated for or put in place in the last several decades that benefits the average American? I certainly can't!

Well Eisenhower... No, that was 60+ years ago... But Nixon... No, that was 45+ years ago...

No, not in the last several decades.

Thank you!

Is that right son.

Exactly, boy, unlike the number of Democrats that encouraged and enabled BLM thugs to riot, loot, and commit arson.

Trump can beat her. He is the Republican party. Rove is irrelevant to Trump's base and that is the base of the Republican party.

You just keep drinkin' that Kool-Aid, pop. It's good for you.

Agreed in part; Trump's base will most certainly want the party to go their direction but their direction isn't working. It's imploding.

What I hope happens is that most Republicans just abandon that sinking ship and flock to another party. Building from scratch is hard, but taking over one of the present parties is a start and then fill it with experienced Republicans who go back to their roots of focusing upon national security and business.

The natural dichotomy of views means a conservative viewpoint will be organized to represent Americans who lean conservative. It's part of a natural balance within the rules of the Constitution.

While it's possible for 3 or more parties to rise equally, since ours is not a parliamentary style government, it usually evolves into two opposing parties.

[Micawber]

your "side" burned down multiple police stations and caused billions of dollars in damage and violence to peoople not even a few months ago.

I saw no Democratic party flags associated with support for that property damage, or Democratic aligned media that supported that violence and property destruction.

Even if one half of Trumplicans follow Trump and the other become Republican reclaimed, in 4 years they will all still vote
for the same candidate they select. Where they've blown it is the Trump part has driven 10 percent Retrumplican party to Democrats by
Trump having scared moderates shitless or otherwise repulsing them.

One party, one candidate, yes. I expect a split with competing candidates. Even so, I doubt the conservatives can mount a strong enough campaign take back either house of Congress in 2022 much less unseat Harris in 2024.

The ball is in the Democrat's court. It's up to them to lose the Senate in 2022 allowing Republicans to take it back.

Liar or autistic...you decide!

BLM disavowed the violence that occurred at their demonstrations. Trump and his supporters cheered the attempted coup. Pick your side.

the term is "mostly peaceful"

The protests were "mostly peaceful". BLM is "peaceful".
