Let's make it happen!!
Kill that sickening party!
That's what they get for propping up a bunch of racists & other assorted bigots.

Such a shame for the party that once freed the slaves.
Shoulda kept up with the Blacks & pushed for social/economic justice instead of going for the big business money in the Gilded Age.
And damn sure shoulda came up with a better coalition than the Dixiecrats in the 1960s.

I gotta highlight this part here!

If Texas is bright blue, you can’t get to two-seventy electoral votes. The Republican Party would cease to exist.

Of course not. Cruz just won by a landslide, and so did Romney. LisaL Nov 2012 #8
