Ah, but how does a party do that ? By keeping its base happy. I’d be hard pressed to say the Republican Party has done a blessed thing to keep us Conservative activists happy.

And why should they? The Republican Party does not consider Conservative activists to be part of it's base (at least, not currently). That's why they're not trying to make us happy.

I don’t have the answer, nor will I pretend to have the answer.

Is now the time for a third party ?

Actually, they come over to me as regarding Conservative activists as a positive embarrasment.
