The Republicans have been crumbling apart for more than half a century. If it weren't for the criminal gerrymandering of congressional districts by red-state legislatures, they would have lost power long ago. The valiant efforts of the Democrats to periodically repair the great damage the GOP has done repeatedly to our economy, is the only reason we still survive as a nation. But is there enough remaining this time, for us to recover once more? We're lucky that only one major political party serves its favored members first and leaves only the remnants for all others.
^^^^^ coming from a tree hugger liberal from Oregon. Whoever is the majority in a state controls the gerrymandering. Both parties do it. Democrats controlled congress for 40 years straight until 1994, you don't think they did a lot of gerrymandering to keep control of Congress for 40 years? you betcha. So stop with the hypocrisy.
I fear the GOP will crumble, but not because of Kavanaugh. I think it's because they are moving Left and selling us out to the open borders and Common Core/Fed Ed lobby. And they are moving away from social conservative values. Eventually, they will alienate enough of their base who simply won't turn out to vote anymore. That will be the end of them.
Truthfully, what's keeping the GOP alive as a party right now is their "you have to vote for us or else the Democrats will get in" every election day. If we can pull that life support, the party will be as dead as Jacob Marley.
Of course, if the Dems cannot pull these stunts and protests and keep fooling enough people to vote Dem to stop the "evil racist, sexist, homophobic, Islamophobic, rapist, etc" Republicans, then they will quickly go the way of their heroes, the Prussian Empire and the USSR.
More gop voters probably die off daily than dem ones. I can't think of anyone I know under 40 voting for the old white man party. Will be interesting to see things in s couple decades

I bet in red states, like Oklahoma, Republican registered voters under 40 outnumber Democrats. There are also a bunch who choose to register independent.
and they are running to the party of Ted Kennedy and Bill Clinton to find decency, the truth and honor.
Obama was certainly the more moral family man than the amoral jackass in office who makes fun of gold star families and POWs and slept around with porn stars while his wife was pregnant.
The hypocrisy of the religious right in electing trump is astounding
The confirmation debacle has galvanized the Republicans like nothing ever before.
The most extreme Never-Trumper, Erick Erickson, now says he would vote for Trump in 2020.
Dems overplayed their hand...Blue Wave is a puddle.
You're right! Stay home. No need to worry about the puddle

Ok won't matter. Think FL. TX etc. Those are where things are really going to shift.
Trump just pissed off six figures of Puerto Ricans who have moved to FL. He probably they thought they were illegals and couldn't vote lol. Why do you think Desantis broke with trump on the hurricane Maria death toll? Even he's not that much of an idiot... of course trump made him pay the price.
Interesting when a GOP Congressman switches sides especially when he claims to be Pro Life. I have to wonder if this is a professional move since he is employed by CNN & MSNBC or a heartfelt belief...in any case, I disagree with him on what he has said here.
Not sure what you mean by switching sides, since Jolly hasn’t changed his mind about being conservative. I don’t think William Buckley would have had any use for Trump either.
Neither party will crumble. We will always go back and forth with who’s in charge of government. I do think it’s a very scary time. And it has been for awhile. Remember when our politicians actually made deals and compromised for the good of our country. What happened to that. We need these kind of politicians back in office.
Deals like air lifting pallets of Cash to the largest sponsor of terrorism in the World?
I’ll pass on that - Normal People will pass on that.

Florida is a very politically complex state. There is a huge generational gap, with growing numbers of both conservative seniors and liberal, diverse young people. It is certainly possible that the state flips parties in both the Senate (D -> R) and governor (R -> D) races this year. Neither party is crumbling, but their coalitions are moving around, and Republicans have a decisive geographic advantage at this time.
