Nobody has forced the forum in that direction. It has always been in that direction, simply because most conservatives are Republicans.

JimRob publicly stated that the best way to defeat Democrats is to vote for Republicans.

Well, duh.

All the perennial third-party types had a cow about it, and many stormed off. But we still have a higher percentage of third-party types than exist in the general population.

If FR was going to run off all non-Republicans, you wouldn't be on this thread. So, what does this "forced direction" really mean, and has it been a disaster?

Joe stated what it might mean, as did I, --- while commenting that its been a divisive issue, proven by this thread and many more like it..
How many more ways must it be said?

No kidding.. Why are you belaboring the obvious?

[As an aside, I probably hold the FR record for being told to shut up or be axed. - Obviously, I'm good at skating thin ice on such occasions.]
