I’ll note that the NLRB is appointed by the President; this kind of outcome is only possible because we’ve had a Democratic president the past few years.

        The Republican party should die with Trump’s failed campaign

        The implication of this statement is that it has already failed.

          Oh, I suppose there’s an optimistic conditional in there… “if (as I hope) Trump’s campaign is an utter failure, it should bring down the party.”
