Looking back at the RNC there were none of the Rinos there. It's as if the RNC was a changing of the gaurd. I've said in the past that after leaving the WH Trump should start a third party. But now I don't believe that, as he's simply moulded the Rep party into one that anyone, including independents can be a part of.
I believe from now on, Rinos will no longer be welcome, and the few that are still there won't get a seat at the table, and get to set the agenda. This will mean no new never ending wars and jobs being shipped overseas.
Just wondering in the future, could Trump be RNC Chair or some other influential position within the party to keep it honest?
Trump has changed the Republican party forever. The establishment will never again force the likes of McCain, Romney, Jeb bush down our throats. We made that clear in the 2016 primary. The 'never Trump' movement is the death rattle of the old Republican guard desperate to be relevant again.
The far left has taken over the Democrat Party and purged the centrists. I think a more likely scenario is that a 3rd party will emerge made up of centrist Democrats and RINO Republicans.
They tried to set up a pathetic “Party/Government in Exile” in the form of the Lincoln project, but it was laughable how sad that attempt was.
Your right in that for all intents and purposes, the Bush Republicans / Neocons / RINOs died the moment Jeb Bush dropped out in the face of overwhelming Trump support. Despite having the most funding, and despite having initial support from the Republican Establishment, Jeb got BTFOd.
The remaining RINOs are on borrowed time, and they know this. Especially the ones that failed to hide their treason like Romney.
We will never see another Romney/Ryan-esque ticket again.
