The GOP shouldn't be worried about losing conservative votes, unless they did something stupid like pushing a liberal as their candidate... Oh, wait.

GOP wouldn’t need to worry if “Conservatives” were smart enough not to fall for Soros paid stooges who scream the slogans they want to hear despite having a long history of being Democrat party clowns.

If you object to being treated like an idiot, stop acting like one.

Nothing in life is ever perfect. Sitting at your keyboard squealing day in and day out for perfection is the behavior of a petulant child, not a rational adult

Like I said when you insist on acting like a political idiot, people are going to point out your idiocy. If you don't like it, quit being an idiot.

Reagan had words for your sort of dogmatic ideological purist.

By Ronald Reagan in his autobiography An American Life

“When I began entering into the give and take of legislative bargaining in Sacramento, a lot of the most radical conservatives who had supported me during the election didn’t like it. “Compromise” was a dirty word to them and they wouldn’t face the fact that we couldn’t get all of what we wanted today. They wanted all or nothing and they wanted it all at once. If you don’t get it all, some said, don’t take anything. I’d learned while negotiating union contracts that you seldom got everything you asked for. And I agreed with FDR, who said in 1933: ‘I have no expectations of making a hit every time I come to bat. What I seek is the highest possible batting average.’ If you got seventy-five or eighty percent of what you were asking for, I say, you take it and fight for the rest later, and that’s what I told these radical conservatives who never got used to it.

There is nothing in the constitution about political parties, so everything is a matter of law enacted by legislatures.

The bottom line to me is simply, if third parties meet the law, then they meet the law.

Also, if we had a law requiring only 2 parties, then that’s no different than one requiring only 1 party, as in Vietnam.

Openness to new parties is at least one evidence that we are not an authoritarian system.
