2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumChicago Tribune: Orange-hued heathen trashes party of Lincoln
Even the conservative Chicago Tribune is publishing anti-Trump commentary. They endorsed a Democrat for the first time ever in 2008. I wonder if they will do so again this year?
The Republican Party was seriously wounded Thursday night by an orange-hued heathen who, after months of battering conservatives with divisive, xenophobic and often nonsensical rhetoric, dropped the once-proud party of Lincoln to its knees by accepting its nomination for president.
It remains unclear whether the GOP will recover, but is said to be under sedation and planning to spend more time with family.
Before delivering his final blow in a prime-time acceptance speech at the GOP national convention, real estate mogul and master egotist Donald J. Trump derailed any hope the Republican Party had of broadening its appeal to a wider base of American voters. Trump's co-conspirators, who remain on the loose, have been identified as "millions of predominantly white voters who feel left behind in a demographically changing America."
