What's wrong with the Republican Party?

Archaic, Unresponsive, stuck in the 1950s, unrealistic, not responding to the real times we live in, stuck like an ostrich with it's head in the sand, and pretending whatever is happening is not happening.

This is about how 58% of the American public sees the Republican Party today.

However, the Republican party used to be valuable in crises by not allowing us to change too fast. But, when the world is now moving at warp speed near the speed of light it has become completely dysfunctional and it's original purpose which was to prevent us from moving too quickly and not squandering our money or resources look kind of redundant in the present. So, like an obsolete old grandfather used to sheparding the country, the Republican Party is searching for relevance in a world changing at lightspeed because of technology, communication, and everything else. So, unless the Republican party becomes more relevant like certain Libertarian elements that look more like Rand Paul, it will be gone pretty much by the next Presidential election never to be heard from again.

I thought of a concrete example, "Imagine a flood of water (symbolic of all the changes on earth right now) and one turned to the Republican Party for answers. The response would be: "What flood?"
This is kind of what it is like in regard to Global Climate change, Gay marriage and equal rights, abortion, immigration etc. If the water is coming in the front door and you ask for help and someone says, "What water? What Flood?" you know you have to turn somewhere else to solve your problems. And you also know that that person is either going to die or going to have to be rescued.

So, in order to be both relevant and useful to the majority of the American People the Republican party must change or fade away. And this likely is a very realistic assessment of the problem with the Republican party. Both my father and my Grandfather were Republicans while I was growing up and I was for Goldwater in 1964 when I was 16. But, by the late 1960s and early 1970s the Viet Nam War and Nixon's paranoia had soured me on the Republican party for life. However, I must also say here that Nixon also saved us from a potential nuclear war with China along with Kissinger by creating a business partnership with China. So, Nixon likely was the single most important statesman President of the entire 20th Century in addition to being way to paranoid and making really awful mistakes in regard to Watergate. But, The Viet Nam War and Watergate put a really bad taste in my mouth in regard to the Republican party. So, I had an experience much like Hillary Clinton who was also raised a Republican also and who is around my age.
