Do you think the Republican party should reform?

Republicans could expel any member who has acted in an anti-democratic way or who acts against the law or the constitution.

They could demand that potential new members sit a test on attitudes to democracy, and pass through a one year probationary period while other members get to know them.

They could demand an oath of fealty to the constitution of the US.

Do you think any of these measures would help the party recover from its current crisis?

If so, which ones and how?

If not, which ones and why not?

I dont see the Party as the problem. Its the people who are the problem. The "system" relies on patronage, donations and lobbying to steer votes and policy. Those people have to be sidelined and limited to legitimate voting and information roles. And the voters need to change their view and accept their responsibiloity for how far off the rails thier representatives and the party have been allowed to go. You are not supporting a sporting team or praying to a god. You are choosing a Representative to do the job of taking your interests and concens to the government. You need to watch them and make sure they understand what you expect and that you are watching. Just like your boss watches you. Then fire them if they dont perform.😷
