Without Trump, what is the GOP?

For the entirety of the Obama years, the GOP was anti-Obama, and made gains in the House and Senate mostly on people being tired of Obama and the Democrats lack of meaningful progress. So now that they have the Presidency and both houses, what is their direction? What is their goal? It seems like without Trump's platform, they have nothing. Pretty telling since every Principled Conservative was saying before the election that Trump would destroy the party. It is beginning to look more and more like the party wants to destroy itself around Trump.

An extension of the DNC.

A fractured mess with a few principled conservatives and the rest being owned by corporations and lobbyists.

The GOP is week. We saw it countless times when Obama was in office.
Now with Trump we see that several are clearly democrats

They have no clue how to run a government. Thank God we didn't have the likes of Ryan and McConnell leading us during WWII. Operation Neptune would have been delayed with our boys bobbing around in the English Channel for weeks while those two bozos took polled focus groups about hurting Hitler's feelings. And then they would have pulled all of our guys back after D-Day when the media showed pictures of the bloody beaches.

One of the major problems I had with Trump in the primaries is that there was a huge potential for him to cannibalize the party. The problem is, he's really just finishing the job that the Washington Republicans have started. They haven't stood for anything on principle that doesn't coincide with solidifying their power base in decades.
So in some ways Trump has been useful in finishing off the job. What emerges as the Republican Party going forward will be interesting to see. I suspect will see more fragmenting of the party into libertarian, conservative, corporatism and neoconservatives.

Is this based purely off the Healthcare debacle?
If so, what is Trump's platform for Healthcare?

Sackless and out-of-touch

Do you mean what was on his website? Or what his platform actually is?

What is his platform? Repeal and replace like every other GOP for the last 7 years?

He doesn't have one. He has no ideology. So he would've passed anything to say he was reforming Obamacare.

Without Trump the RNC takes a bloodbath in the next election.
People like me are just sick of the do nothing approach.

So help me understand the position of the OP considering all of these threads only pop up when healthcare reform fails

I'm not sure how I'm supposed to clarify another posters post?
