I have said they need to cease to exist and only the voters can do that. Them not winning even 25% of the legislature should do it. Many folk want to bring something forward over the democrats and I often say we pretty much have to eliminate the republicans first. dems would easily split in that scendario along with likely the greens taking office. actually that would be a good metric. If the republicans were down to just the nuttiest areas then if the greens could hold as much or more than them it would effectively eliminate them as their nuts would vote democrat over republican if the greens were a real threat which would drive the republican party even further down.
