The GOP Obituary

8. In 2015

the Republicans put party before country and chose an authoritarian Strong Leader who was not committed to democracy to head their party because they realized that they could not win without him. They understood what they were doing. They were considering having a brokered convention to choose another candidate. Some of the senior Republican politicians refused to support Trump. For a democracy to be viable there must be at least two viable parties committed to democracy. The US is one party short. Unless the corporate 20% of Republicans can take control from the authoritarian 80%, or develop a viable new party committed to democracy, democracy in the US will be one election away from failure.
