I agree with your post. Even Trump realizes the importance of staying in the GOP.
And that's a shame, because I will never vote for any GOP candidate ever again, not even Donald Trump. I love the guy, but I won't compromise my values ever again. I refuse to support, and vote for a party that does not respect me, and will not protect my vote.
And the reason the GOP will never be reformed, is because too many people are willing to turn the cheek and go along, to get along...same thing that Congressional Republicans do, and what we've all been bitching about for years.
