#1 Yup.

#2 To be fair, it had been terminal and on life support for several years.

#3 Right, somebody else is going to represent the interests of the "cognitive elites"?

#5 Never underestimate your enemy. Until you drive that stake through their heart they're still alive and capable of doing great harm. And if you're dead set on a two party system let McShame and Graham start up a new party with the Deep State wing of the Republican party.

#6 So true, Abu.

#7 Unfortunately, the Donk Party tends to be like Freddy Krueger.

#8 And if you're dead set on a two party system let McShame and Graham start up a new party with the Deep State wing of the Republican party

You're more likely to see a party composed of GOP(e) politicians like the Bush clan, the Common Sense Commercial Conservatives as epitomized by Glenn Beck and the folks at National Review, 'moderate' Republicans who are long-time refugees from the Democratic Party, and those few Democrats who still have their political sanity.

In short, potentially centrist, likely opportunistic, commercially political, and wholly Establishment.

#9 Independents are 40%+ of the voters, according to Gallup. I think that we better start getting beyond dinosaur ideology and start thinking for ourselves. Political parties have evolved to protect their turf and the trough.

#10 The question is whether that forty percent is truly Independent, or voters wandering through the political wilderness?
