The GOP logo elephant already has a racing stripe, doesn’t he? Or is the elephant decapitated? If so, painting racing stripes onto him would just be mean, Frank.

Maybe they decapitated him to pander to the dead vote which always goes heavily Democrat. Didn’t work out though. Just goes to show that chasing demographics doesn’t work.

1. Make the official flag of the Republican Party the Gadsden Flag.

2. Refuse to fund anything to do with Obamacare.

3. Announce that the first and only plank of the party platform is the U.S. Constitution.

4. Refuse to raise the debt ceiling.

5. Be willing to shut down this government due to lack of funding.

The list is long – but that’s a start.

Apologize even more for Republican voters. Nothing turns out the vote like a party that goes on TV and talks about how their own voters are fringe wackos for wanting them to adhere to the Constitution.

Replace the ‘o’ in GOP with a zero so it’s more like l33t speak H4XX0r G0PWN3R5H1P! UFC is popular; make Congress more like that. In the least, install an Octagon. “We’ll settle this… in the Octagon!” That should be The GOPtagon! Mustaches now mandatory for all men in the GOP Why not? Dem women grow out their beards. However, a return to the mustache-muttonchop combo popular in the mid=to-late 19th century would be more distinctive.

Trendsetter that I am, I’ve had a mustache (sometimes combined with a beard) for all but a few months since late 1970.

"90P", thank you very much...

Mustaches now mandatory for all men in the GOP.

This is already mandatory for Democratic Party women.

Frank, I know you were being sarcastic, but here is a real suggestion: all primaries on the same day. That way, all Republicans can choose their candidates, instead of Iowa and a few other states effectively choosing for us. If necessary, a run-off primary two weeks later. Then we need to work on those states that have open primaries so that only Republicans choose their candidate; Democratics can’t choose our candidate for us.

Replace the elephant with the T-Rex or at least a velociraptor.
