Eurotwits who only watch American TV and listen to Ameritwits have been convinced since oh about 1862 that the Republican party - a party of 'Baboons' like Lincoln and 'Loose Cannon' like Teddy Roosevelt and 'Amiable Dunces' like Reagan was headed for the ash heap of history. After all it's not a real conservative party, meaning a party that sustains the centralized establishment of a traditional European ruling class, instead it's a Libertarian conservative party with serious populist overtones which the Euros despise.
But despite having almost all the press, media and intelligentsia (which has nothing to do with either intelligence or wisdom, by the way) actively campaigning against it 24 x 7 the damned thing keeps getting votes. Must be frustrating for the Corporatists who thought the US would be stitched up tighter than a Bongo drum by now - just like Europe. FT provides a good discussion of the details here.
