The three of us started this blog based on a correspondence we maintained throughout the late winter and early spring.  We were not only aghast at the rise of Trump and Cruz and the seeming collapse of the GOP at the presidential level, but also alarmed at what seems to be pending constitutional crises almost everywhere we look.  Thus, the title. Not quite the end of the world, but, maybe the end of many institutions and assumptions about government that we all take for granted.

We decided to move this conversation to a blog where friends and other interested observers could join in.  Would love to hear from Republicans as well as Democrats and even from a Trump supporter.
