Are you the poster who said that "Trump is text book classic" why major parties have failed? If so, what do you mean by that? The post above doesn't answer that question. Major parties fail because enough of their base moves to a new party, always due to a disconnect between the party leaders and the party base. That is why the GOP will fail. Trump now represents the GOP base much more than the establishment GOP leaders do. Is that what you meant? If so, then I agree. But Trump is "why". Trump is just who the GOP base is rallying to. Not because he's Trump. Because he represents what they believe in more than people like McConnell and McCarthy and Cheney and Bush do.
