Sorry, but I think the party entered hospice care when Dwight Eisenhower caved in to Joe McCarthy requesting that he not defend George Marshall when campaigning for the ticket in Wisconsin in 1952, and died when Barry Goldwater got the nomination. Since then, it has been a chicken with its head cut off.

There's certainly grounds for that analysis. However, like the Roman Republic, the Republican Party spent a long time in that hospice.

Or at least when Margaret Chase Smith was defeated in 1972.
