I'm all for firing up another party to replace the dwindling GOP. I mean no offense to those who have worked for years and put in many hours to support the GOP, but the GOP has obviously seen much better days.
Hey, I was extremely active in the Republican party before 07 - I was a hitter on the money side, and know my way around the bundling game. I was a player, and I tried HARD. Even after being jaded on the national scene, I stayed heavy in the state and regional shows. So I don't mean to offend anyone either. I walked that hard mile too.
But at some point it is busted beyond all belief. And think that happened for real and forever in the 2016 campaign with the crap passed at the convention. I think the old dawgs are protected and too powerful to tip. and with that, no new blood, not to mention conservative blood can rise.
Personally I think they've been long gone for a while, but that did them in, and time would be better spent raising up a new Conservative party. And that is where most of my efforts remain.
