No shit, man. What planet does this guy live on? Joe, have you just ignored the direction of the GOP for the last 30+ years? âThe party of Lincolnâ? Give me a break. You became the party of George Wallace when Nixon rolled out the Southern Strategy and you havenât looked back.

The Republican Party died in the 1960s with the âSouthern Strategyâ when the KKK moved en masse from the Dixiecrats to the GOP. The past 50 years has just been its protracted death throes.

Drumpf: I am resurrecting the base. Confederacy will make us rise again and protect us against Rapists, Terrorists and remaining Non-Aryans.

The Party of Lincoln died when it courted all the Dixiecrats.

The death of the Republican Party began in 1964, when the Birchers took over and got Goldwater nominated. The infection set in with Nixonâs Southern Strategy, then picked up more speed in 1976 when St. Ronnie of Raygun went after President Ford. St Ronnie, successful in 1980, brought the talibangelicals into the mix.
Drumpf is just delivering the coup de grâce to an already mortally wounded party.

Just stop it! Stop pretending thereâs some possibility Trump doesnât know who David Duke is. Of course he does! And thereâs no possibility he is unaware of the KKK. None. Heâs a racist running on racism. Disavowing Duke and the KKK would betray his brand.

Odd that he hadnât noticed that this is what his party became a long time ago. He has certainly cheered on those who act this way. âTurn off her micâ Joe might as well be Joe the Plumber. He just doesnât see himself or his party for what they areâŚnot what they have become.

Perhaps it will not lead to the death of âthe party of Lincolnâ (a phrase which, IMHO, should have had a stake pounded into its heart in 1932), but I surely hope it leads to the death of the party of Joe Scarborough.
Whatâs that, Joey? Tying yourself to an anchor in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean doesnât seem like such a good idea in hindsight?

The party died after the period known as Reconstruction when they decided to forgive those that committed treason, when they took the federal guard out of the South and allowed the Klan to grow and terrorize the newly âfreedâ Black people, when they did nothing about Jim Crow for 100 years

No, Joe is the bullet that was in Boothâs gun.

This is the political correctness of acting âpolitically incorrectâ. To admit that there is some level of bigotry and racism thatâs beyond the limits of polite conversation is to be weak.
(Note: originally I was going to say âbeyond the paleâ. But I think that may be problematic.)
Itâs interesting that David Duke is the âstep too farâ. I guess giving up your values and beliefs to support Trump was OK but DD? Uh uhâŚ

Joe, your party that was the party of Lincoln long ago ceased being the party that gave us the 13th and 14th amendments. The GOP was the progressive party but has evolved into a caricature of a political entity.
Joe ⌠it was the GOP that embraced the TEA party movement. And you willingly enveloped that cancer and made it your own.
edited for spelling fix.

No kidding. Even saying âthe party of Reaganâ has been laughable for at least 10 years now.
