FORBES
John Zogby March 16, 2016
The Republican Party, known by its nickname as the Grand
Old Party, died on March 15, 2016. It was 162 years old. The party, born
in the strife of the 1850s, succumbed to internal strife, sources said.
The GOP had been suffering from hopeless
internal divisiveness brought on by multiple sectors internally all
claiming to be the “real conservatives” and no one ready to agree on a
unifying theme. The party stopped breathing because of demographics that
were stacked against it and its inability to adjust to a different
America demographically, culturally, and having a worldview that didn’t
recognize new global realities.
What accelerated its demise, however, was
the consistent victories and accumulation of delegates by real estate
mogul and reality television star Donald Trump.
Party sources said that Trump was able to exploit fears of white
Americans who could not adjust to a changing America. One Trump
supporter told us that “We grew up in an all-white America with
Christian values. We look around and see immigrants, Muslims, people who
are just not like us.”
