It is a very mainstream party.
GOP had sweeping victories in last two midterms.
They are an underdog but not irrelevant.
that was then, this is now, the 2016 elections coming up,
will give the democrats the senate, and major gains in the house. plus a president. any party that a man like Donald trump can take over, has no chance in a presidential election
he cant get the black vote, the Hispanic vote, the womens vote, big numbers in minority voters, the republicans will get crushed, and they cant stop it.
