I understand your approach, but I am not sure that the GOP can be saved any more. It will take too much time to try to start from the bottom and move up... that would, in reality mean starting at the state level. There isn’t enough frustration at that level for people to be moved to action. Trying to take it back in DC in the House and Senate, again...means you have to have enough people upset about those who are currently representing them. I don’t think it can be saved that way...though I understand your approach. I think the message needs to be sent LOUD and CLEAR, NOW that we are fed up with the GOP and their pseudo-options, MHO.

The options are not mutually exclusive. I suggest we pursue both.

One thing to keep in mind is that the downticket races will be negatively affected in the extreme by a candidate at the top of the ticket who opposes all they stand for. It will be a very difficult election season if all our House candidates have to spend the entire time arguing against their own candidate for President.

On the presidential level this year, I will be voting for a republican, but not for a Republican.

Down ticket, there will be some Republicans that earn my support, because they are republicans. I will help them in spite of their party registration, not because of it.

I’m done with the Republican Party. It is no longer a vehicle to promote the principles this republic was built on. Instead, it’s now owned and operated by George Soros and his minions.

But I will always be a republican until my dying day.

Flower, if the hippies could turn the Dem party from the loyal opposition to the party of treason by infiltrating and working upward, we can turn the GOP back into the party of Reagan by doing the same.
