Yeah...absolutely. The NE “Republican party” sold out to the FDR view of history, culture, and economics generations ago. Most thought they died when Goldwater got the nomination in ‘64, they didn’t, they just got a lot smaller. Rudman, Chaffee, Snow, etc...they are still about 20% of the party with 60% of the influence when it comes to presidential nominations.

One of these years...the party faithful is going to figure this out. The Northeast GOP liberal, media complex is still very, very important when deciding POTUS’ nominees. Most of these people vote Democrat in the end...but still have tremendous financial/political power in the GOP.

I’m ready to bolt...When the Whigs fractured and died over the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, the Republicans replaced them. We are a modern Kan/Neb Act from the same result.

Past time to look at building a third party.
