Will they ever reclaim it and then once again proudly identify themselves as REPUBLICANS? Or has it been annihilated/trashed/crushed/murdered and will never take another breath? The landscape is littered with them. They identify themselves as "former Republicans" or Independents. Wherever they gather they are in mourning and disbelief at what has become of the GRAND OLD PARTY. As I said. I take no comfort in that. I liked the way things used to be. I miss it too.
