So yes, some solid conservative values are closer to the fringe than the center and if we want to change the nature of the two parties, we have to move the center toward our desired direction.

Or bolt. Believe me, if 10-15 million people bolted the GOP, they would either wake up or face the fate of the Whigs. The problem is that people feel locked into the 2-party system - that's what they want us to feel. But there are other choices. I don't see a mandatory 2-party system in the Constitution. GROUPTHINK is the problem - it has brainwashed people into thinking that they have no choice outside these 2 corrupt parties. I say, RUBBISH!

I said "rubbish", too, in 1992 when I voted for Perot. Bolting is not only flawed strategy, we learned first-hand that it brings us the exact opposite of what we want.
