The Republican Party won't be destroyed, but it's going to be reshaped in a profound way. The teajadists are going to continue to be a jacobian menace.
You can take moderate republicans and moderate democrats and find a middle ground and let the Teajadists (God I love that) have their own Caliphate and the Uber Lefties can have their commune, and maybe we'll actually get something done in a positive way for this country.
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.
Why would he do that when he hasn't done that already? More than likely it will be the opposite reality. They will try to work with him in order to unify the party. I don't see him bending to them when he entire campaign has been built on doing the opposite.

I think that's a false equivalency. For all the issues the Democratic Party has there is nothing remotely similar to the magnitude of issues that the Republican party currently faces.

I agree. I didn't say they were equivalent, I said it would be nice to have a true centrist party. Fiscally conservative, and socially, if not liberal, I'd go for tolerant/agnostic.
I would love a Government that cared about governing and running Government, not what women do with their bodies, or who sleeps with who.
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.
In his last month in office, Bill Clinton signed the PTNR (permanent normal trade relations) bill with China enabling them to run massive trade surplusses with the US. This was a rank betrayal of the American worker both blue collar and white collar. Now Obama and the Congress are about to push through the TPP, another disaster for the American worker and the USA as a whole.
Again, both parties do the bidding of special interests and then pay lip service to the concerns of their constituents come election time. That's why Trump is so popular. The people are fed up with the duopoly.

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
Is this a mistake or the design ? I see two different questions ? The entity destroying the party is different.
In one Trump gets the credit and
in the other the voters who would make him the nominee.
Will Donald trump destroy the Republican Party ?
Will the Republican Party be destroyed if Donald Trump is the nominee?
The people have a right to choose, the media doesn't.
