They become democrats.
M-F traitor idiots.
What do they stand for?
They become deliberate vote gainers for the democrats. Plain and simple.

More than a few warned of going down that path.
What did we get out of it?
Freedom? Ha Ha. From what?
Party sanctioned capitulation has ruled since.
Not even that. Here in my state the Republicans just whacked us with a 45% increase in the gas tax.
In other words they will assure they remain in the minority in perpetuity.
