As long as we have FR then we have hope and a mission. Trending down can be good... we are getting rid of the socialists and “moderates”. I know that is redundant but it is true. Some that are leaving are more pro Republican Party than they are Conservative. I WAS a republican because of what the party stood for at one time... especially under Reagan. They have changed and so now I am an Independent Conservative that votes for Conservative republicans. We never needed those party first guys because they are in it only for the party to win... we are in it for America and everyone calling him or herself an American can be winners. They just do not understand the concept. Be glad they are gone. New Conservatives are being born every day... and they are finding their way here... and that is a trend that will continue and expand.

When you think about it, this is a lot like the forced multi-culti BS. You have a culture of strident conservatives and another where they are stridently GOP. The two can coexist a lot of the time but you cannot get them to play by the same rules. And that’s where the ‘fun’ begins. And the power plays. And the backstabbing.
This ‘scene’ has played out a million times in culture, politics and everywhere else. The faces change but the results are the same. Every time.
