The party is sucking wind among independents at 58 points underwater: 14% favorable, 72% unfavorable.There’s simply no way around the fact that the Republican Party brand is continuing its rapid descent amid the leadership of a four-time indictee who is presiding over a party that no longer believes in the Constitution, law and order, or even democratic norms.
