Populism will destroy the GOP

When the American people wake up and realize that they've been supporting a Republican party that really stacks all the economic cards against most working people, what's going to happen then?

We now have Republicans split into two factions. The common people are gravitating toward the Tea Party movement. The mainstream Republican Party is now being found out as the protector of all corporate moneyed interests everywhere. Everything else they care about is just window dressing to keep people in line. The problem is that this policy of protecting the wealthy and big business is not trickling down to the rest of us. And it's becoming painfully obvious. It's not just liberals who understand this anymore.

The conservative social views that have helped hold together the Republicans will weaken as brutal economic facts sink in.

I predict the Republican Party is not going to survive this schism. You heard it here first. This next election should pretty much destroy what's left of a cohesive party.
