Is the Republican Party on the eve of destruction?

A good question. Some think so as they recoil in horror as Donald Trump comes closer to winning the party’s presidential nomination. The tea party’s in the saddle and thundering at full gallup down the road to Hell — or worse, the White House. If Trump is nominated, will the party hold together?

That question reminded me of P.L. Sloan’s protest song from the Sixties, Eve of Destruction, made famous by Barry McGuire, who is 80 and still performing. Seems like a good song for the day of another Republican debate (Fox, at 1900 MST, in Detroit — will anyone ask about the lead in Flint’s water?).
