I believe the “Republican” brand name is just too damaged now.
If it was a real brand, they would have changed the name by now.
You could be right, but then again look how quickly they began destroying the Tea Party brand.
I’m not sure it’s the brand name that matters so much as it does those who represent it.
We need to stand by the ones we believe in, and maybe convince them to begin a new brand from within.
After all, if Cruz, Lee, etc. etc. keep getting the business from the Rino’s, maybe they should begin referring themselves as Tea party members instead of republicans.
Walla! Instead of trying get a new party member elected, we would all ready have US Senators and House members representing the new party.
It would be easier to convince others to leave the party if some of the good guys from the Republican party who are in office left the party first while they are in Office.

“Once you allow your enemy to define you, it’s over.”
That’s a lesson the national GOP, the congressional GOP and many state GOP organizations should have learned a long time ago.
But UKIP also is able to compete in Labour areas the Tories can’t.
UKIP needs to be ruthless and play the long term game to crush the fake Conservative Party.
It is far from the Thatcher led Party you remember. It worked in Canada and it can work here.
