The Republicans are long past soul-searching. The Republican "brand" has, in my opinion, been forever disgraced. Anyone who identifies him- or herself as a Republican should be voted out of office. If someone wants to start a new "conservative" party, fine. There was an article in NYT a day or two ago with headline something like "How Liberal Professors Can Save Conservatism", which seemed very sensible to me: teach young people "classical" conservatism (Burke, Hume, etc.), which contains some reasonable ideas, so they can replace the crazies who call themselves conservative, but are anything but.

Unfortunately the very first sentence contains a grammatical mistake, presumably not a recommendation for liberal professors to do the same.
