    Two indispensable ingredients for a post-Trump GOP revival: 1. Situation so bad the base accepts change, and 2. A powerful, unifying leader.

        You guys don't realize that you're never going to compete in a Presidential election with a media this hostile to the GOP.

        Every Republican since Nixon has had to fight the media. If we had a real republican running this time, we'd be ahead

        I agree. Trump is uniquely bad. But any GOPer would be running against both.

        Of course no doubt. But the GOP can win, and they do win, even with the media.

        I don't think that's true going forward. The opportunity only existed because of how loathed Hillary is.

        in 2004, the media went after Bush hard. He won. The GOP took control of house and Senate after Obama elected.

        GW campaigned on social conservatism. Which of the last 3 GOP candidates have campaigned on social con issues?

        My fear is that Trump loses and then decides to run again in 2020 and the same thing repeats itself. We need a leader to step up

        Do you see any candidate for the latter? The relentless emphasis on ideology has squeezed out generosity of spirit.

        Isn't the absence of #2 the reason we got here in the 1st place & I don't see any 1 out there on the horizon who fits the bill.
