When The Dust Settles, What’s Left Of The Right/GOP?

We are heading into the home stretch of the 2016 presidential campaign and win or lose, Republicans will have some soul searching to do when it’s all over.  What happened to mainstream Jeb Bush, how far “outside” was Sen. Ted Cruise, why did Gov. John Kasich turn his back on the convention and those thousands of Americans?  What’s up with what Tim Bryce calls the GOP cultural revolution?

Tim Bryce is a writer and the managing director of M&JB Investment Co. (M&JB) of Palm Harbor, Fla., and has more than 30 years of experience in the management consulting field. He's a semi-regular contributor to the KIT Morning News, and in his recent column on “Understanding Republican Deserters” Tim reminds us all that the party has left the people.

--“What these "turncoats" do not seem to understand is the people have lost faith in the party and desperately want to clean house, preferably an outsider not imbued with Washington politics. No, this is no longer your grandfather's GOP, not even your father's for that matter. Mr. Trump, who is a political outsider, goes against all forms of traditional political etiquette and tactics, and in the process, has won the party's nomination. Think about that for a moment. And it galls Republican insiders greatly who like the way things were. The populace, however, have had enough and want change.”—

SO what comes next for the GOP? An excellent question and whatever it is, it won’t be easy…Tim writes, ” As Machiavelli said in, "The Prince" (1513)...

"It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage than the creation of a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institution and merely lukewarm defenders in those who would gain by the new ones."
