We have to capture the Republican Party away from the Establishment.
************
With all due respect for your opinions, that is a pipe dream. Trust me, the party is owned, financed and controlled by people a lot more powerful than we are. They will never allow this to happen. The GOP dances to their tune, not ours.
Note how the GOP reacted to the emergence of the Tea Party. It played along to get votes, but never embraced the movement. In fact, it absorbed and re-educated a lot of the TP candidates.
I got a hint of this in the 1990s. In the 2000s, I thought the media pushed the Nation leftward because they were Liberal. In the last two years, I have come to the conclusion that the media is Liberal because Liberal Federal policies enrich the people who own the media, and I also realized that the Republicans are simply the other sock puppet of the wealthy people who control the Democrats and the Media.
I also realized that this stealth "relationship" between Wealthy Interests and the Deep State/Washington Establishment have been going on a long time.
I believe this relationship goes back to the Civil War, and actually a bit further.
The North East Wealthy runs Washington D.C. through influence and other strings they can pull (such as the media) to manipulate Washington D.C. policy.
And the same would immediately happen to any "third party" which showed any indication of actually being able to win, or even influence, elections anywhere.
