@jerryandnancywertzbaugher7778 It's a short list, and a bit oversimplified. Amash and the Senators who have declined to run again in the teeth of Trmpoid opposition still retain some merit.

@grakkerful The Clinton-Obama Democrats stand for capitalism armed to the teeth: there is no rational polity to the right of that. There may, however, be some room for a small party of conscience: Amash might be a model for that. McCain, Romney, and the mainline Republicans? They're Democrats, and that's that. The left? America has no left. A left starts when you hear somebody ask "Why would we need a fourth carrier task force?" There are currently sixteen or so, with another couple or three in the works... Just craziness.

The Trump problem, and implicitly the problem of the amoral and immoral spinelessness of the mass of Republican office-holders, is only half of the problem here. There is also the very large problem that both the major parties are out of touch with the realities of governing. Meanwhile, the minors -- the Greens, regionals like the Michigan Conservatives, the legal fiction of a third party used to such great effect by Nadir and Perot -- represent a variety of off-stage problems. The elephant in the room is that the Obama-Clinton Democratic Party stands for capitalism armed to the teeth. There is no viable politics to the right of that. McConnell, who brings personal wickednesses to his objective Trumpistry, and McCarthy, a pitiful little jackal, represent irresponsible force, a little power. They have no politics beyond the occasional favor they might do for a past friend or a future source of cash. There is, therefore, no legitimate reason for the continued existence of the GOP.
