I don't see that happening. I think conservatives will begin to abandon the Republican party, especially if McLame gets the nod. They won't regain it because that will just solidify the hold the RINOs now have on it. We'll be left with the Democrat Party (a.k.a. the Communist Party), the Republican Party (a.k.a. the Socialist Party), and conservatives will be left party-less unless a viable third party crops up (the "Conservative Party"?).
“I don’t see that happening. I think conservatives will begin to abandon the Republican party, especially if McLame gets the nod.”
Smart conservatives will never abandon the GOP.
MCCain in the White House is like having a 1/2 seat.
He’ll be 50% on our side 50% a traitor, just like his 65% ACU rating for 2007. A real RINO.
But we have many issues and many officeholders. The real conserative backbone of the GOP will endure, even if it takes future primary attempts to knock off RINOs.
