The GOP isn’t dead, but it sure does look and feel that way in the harsh light of the day after last week’s walloping.

But the Republican Party isn’t dead. It’s just beaten badly, and it will take some years to mend. A lesson from the endless rebuild of the Cleveland Browns: There aren’t any shortcuts. You need patience, and you have to work through the draft.

President Trump remains the leader of a badly banged-up party.

He’s often been a terrific cheerleader. He needs to be so again.

The greatness of the Republic is its wonderful resilience. The Constitution is terrifically strong, a work of genius that endures. Parties thought dead beyond recovery indeed do come back. That lesson is not ancient history.

Recall the eclipse of the GOP after Barry Goldwater’s kamikaze presidential run in 1964, which left the GOP with just 32 senators and 140 members in the House. Really.

Recovery after a political crash out can be painful, but it’s best undertaken with clear eyes about what ails the GOP body politic.

Let’s get busy.
