LOL the GOP just took control of the House, Senate, AND Presidency! People said a Republican would never win again because of the "blue wall" and millennials, Latinos, and women. I wonder how they are feeling now?
Political parties have fluid ideologies. If you were to look at the platform of the Democratic Party in 1860 compared to the platform of the party today, there would be almost no similarities. There was never really a chance that the Republican party actually would go away. No one believed we would have only one party winning every national election for eternity. Rather, what was clear was that the Republican Party would have to evolve. They have evolved in some expected ways, and they've evolved in some unexpected ways. For instance, the party no longer makes a big stink out of the religious right social issues. I'm not sure their beliefs have changed, but they aren't waging war on homosexuality anymore, for example. I don't think anyone expected the shift toward blue collar populism, though.
Get some rest my fellow American, there are better days ahead under President Trump!
If you say so, and maybe you will be right or maybe you will be wrong, either way, this will be all on the Republicans. So don't blame the Democrats for anything over the next four years because the Republicans are completely in control now.

Don't fool yourself. The Republican Party, as it has existed since it's creation in 1854 is, indeed, dead. It will be replaced by a New Republican Party, and would have been, no matter who won the election. Donald Trump had already changed it. Our grandfather's Republican Party is now gone.
Electing Trump was never about Republicans vs. Democrats. It is a movement that transcends political party affiliation.
Trump was and still is a democrat or at least an eastern Republican liberal at heart. He is a populist, not a conservative. Trump is going to lay waste to the GOP as we know it. The party of trade deals, entitlements cuts, tax favors, interventionist foreign policy, and religion driven social agendas, is dead, dead, dead. Trump has more in common with progressives than the conservative wing of the Republican party that has dominated it for so long.
