Personally, I think that if Donald Trump becomes a Republican nominee you're going to see stuff happening to the Republican Party that you've only read about in 19th-century American history class. There will be internal warfare like nothing we've seen since the Whig's (another conservative party) imploded before the civil war.
The Republican Party will still be around, probably, but severely weakened and discreditted to the point that another conservative party could come along to replace or challenge them.
What irony that the Republican Party was formed to abolish slavery and defeat the south and now the south, on super Tuesday, has a chance to destroy the Republican Party once and for all, by a New York billionaire nonetheless

No, because they don't get it. They will revise their rhetoric to fit the situation just as the Dem's do. Divide grows and more people fall into the abyss, leaving the loony's on firm ground.
Only in a Democrats wet dreams. Did McGovern destroy the Democratic Party? Is Sanders destroying the Democratic Party? If Biden had entered the race we might well have had Sanders as The Democrat nominee. Sanders versus Trump that would be a hoot.
Both parties are corrupt. They consistently do the bidding of special interests and betray their rank and file, the democrats a little less so than the republicans. The two party system is a sham.
Nope, because when it comes down to Trump vs Clinton/Sanders the majority of Republicans will get behind Trump, even if they hate him. Maybe some will stay home, but I don't see Trump destroying the GOP in any way. Some diehard conservatives might leave, but they will still have to support local/state GOP candidates if they want any influence. If Trump has any brains he will attempt to unify the party to follow him, instead of upset various GOP factions. So far he is pushing a good amount of Republicans away from him, but when it comes to the general election I guarantee he will be working to get them back. So no, he's not going to destroy the party and most Republicans will support him.

It's a false equivalency to compare what's going on in the Republican Party to the Democrats. The Democratic establishment is not freaking out nearly as much about Bernie Sanders as The Republican establishment is freaking out about Donald Trump. The Republican party planted the seed of their own demise many years ago and now it's grown into a monster they cannot control.

Trump unify a party he cares nothing about?? Good luck with that.
