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?

That all sounds good. But the people elect their representatives, knowing the length of their terms. It is on voters to know whom they are seating. Information is too easy to get.
All representatives do now swear an oath to the constitution.
And rogue representatives are held to ethics rules, or are supposed to be.

If 85 million people voted to re elect trump, trump would be president. Those same people would know full well that trump wished to be king. If he became king, democracy would be dead and those that elected him would be at fault. Not trump.
For this country to keep its democracy safe, it is up to the people to protect it.
