Oh, there's one reason, for sure.
Winning.
Conservatives who abandon the Republican party are doomed to live in Loserland -- probably for the rest of their lives.
Conservatives who decide to stick it out and work to take over the Republican party from within will at least have a chance to elect conservatives two, four, six, eight, ten years from now.
There aren't enough of any one faction to defeat both Republicans and Democrats.

As opposed to the loser land we now live in. Got it.
Fixed.
Yeah, right! That's worked out quite well for ya over the past two Presidential elections!

Here's your problem. conservatives are NOT going to ever take it over because there are way too many rinos. The moderates will destroy whatever gains conservative make. It ALWAYS been this way. Conservatives need to start their own party and move on! republicans can GFT!
FGS, abandon that Titanic!
