Mormons Will Save the Republican Party. Black Women Will Save the Democratic Party

When the Republican Party can moving beyond the smoking ruin that the Trump presidency will leave, I think it will be the Mormon Never-Trumpers who will rebuild the party on a moral foundation.  The evangelical Protestants who used to be the moral leaders of the party have wasted their authority by backing Trump.  I think we will see a massive falling off of young evangelicals, just as the priest sex scandal has driven away masses of young Catholics.

Black women have been the solid leaders of the resistance to Trump and of articulating a decent alternative.  I believe a record number will get elected this cycle, and many more will step forward as leaders.  Black women will be the most important -- though far from the only -- face of the rainbow party that stands against the White Man's Party now in power.

In July, here in Boyle County, the Democrats Party lost 28 Registrations while the Republican Party gained 45 for a net loss/gain of 73. This is a month over month, year over year trend. The State and the Nation(to a lesser degree) are trending the same.

I don't think that the Republican Party is in need of being "saved".

I think the Republican Party is being remade as the Trump party. I believe the Trump administration will have a disastrous end, which will leave the nominal Republican Party in ruins.

What will lead to the demise of the Democratic Party?

Democrats had a low moment after McGovern, but rebuilt from the center. This drives leftists nuts, but has led two to presidencies and two who were denied on technicalities.

Wouldn't it be three(Carter, Clinton, & Obama), and who were the two who lost by "Technicality", Bush in Florida and Trump?
