The Pubs are going to be left in the dust because their failure to implement real change will lead to the return to power of an even more radical leftist Rat party.
They don't care - as long as they have a seat at the Statist/Socialist Beast's table. They are happy to play 'opposition party Kabuki Theater' to beguile their hapless party slaves on their plantation, while enabling the Leviathan to infiltrate into every aspect of life. Republican leadership thinks they can manage a Soviet system more efficiently than the Marxists in the Democrat Party.
The leftists will force their agenda on the majority of Americans who don't want it and then they will respond with an even more caustic, strong willed, populist. The Pubs will be pushed aside. They have shown themselves to be worthless in this fight for liberty.
Old news, and each time the suggestion to abandon a failed party to establish a Conservative one outside the cesspool of Mordor on the Potomac, the Party Slaves go berserk and insist such an effort is doomed before it even begins.
Well, it's either we try that - or a bloodbath is inevitable. There is no other option. More than half the population WANTS a SocialistCommunist country run by Corrupt Oligarchs.
