For OpEdNews: Andre Pachter - Writer

The Republican Party is history--a national political party in name only.

In addition to losing the White House, Republicans lost their second Congressional election in a row.

Two straight losses....


Result: not one Republican representing all of New England in the House of Representatives. Not one New Englander....

The party of Abraham Lincoln, Nelson Rockefeller, Jacob Javits, and Henry Kissinger--it suddenly seems hopelessly regional, exclusively white, and increasingly irrelevant.

The brand itself is toxic. In the eyes of the youth, and people across the world, Republican stands for stupidity and incompetence.

A party that is against science and progress.

A party of ignorance and religious extremism.

An anti-intellectual party, in which feelings matter more than facts.

A party that hates big cities and despises art and culture.

A primitive party. 

A holy-roller, hillbilly party.

Like it or not, that is its image.

Bill Buckley and Barry Goldwater must be rolling in their graves.

What will come of this Republican party?
