In the Dec. 20 Southern Forecaster, Edgar Allen Beem has concluded the Republican Party is dead in his piece, “R.I.P., GOP.”
I don’t often read Mr. Beem, but I do remember him pondering the eventuality of angry Trump supporters since Hillary Clinton’s election as president of the United States was a foregone conclusion.
Based on Mr. Beem’s philosophy and forethought the Democrat Party should plan their funeral.
