The old GOP playbook is becoming obsolete. Time to expand the tent and expand the appeal, or we will only win the White House after the opposition occasionally royally screws up.
If the GOP isn't going to stand for what I believe, I have no reason to care whether it ever wins another election. Two liberal parties racing to see who can be more liberal doesn't interest me at all. If that's the only option, I'll stop trying to participate in politics in any way. There's no point in voting if both parties are leading us to the same results.
As long as I believe that there is some hope of changing things for the better and slowing the change for the worse, I will fight against policies that are wrong. I will fight against them whether they are advocated by people with an "R" behind their name or a "D" behind their name. At this point, I see more hope that the Republicans will stand for what is right, but I will go elsewhere if that situation changes.
