After spending several hours watching the best and worst of Congress on MSNBC today, I've been contemplating this totally hypothetical situation:
Let's say it was actually possible to vaporize every Republican politician in the United States overnight, and conservative American voters in 50 states were forced to rebuild a political party for themselves from scratch, without identifying it as the Republican Party.

Given that scenario, these are the questions that crossed my mind:
- How long would it take them to form a unified coalition?
- Would the new conservative party look like the GOP under Eisenhower, or like the present GOP under Double Cheese Shitburger?
