“It will be my endeavor to lend my support to a new party, a new House of Reagan, one fit to bear his name.”
Sorry. But Reagan started out thinking the same thing, after Goldwater lost. But he listened to more experienced minds and realized HE COULD BUILD A CONSERVATIVE BASE IN THE GOP, easier than he could create a third party.
So can the right conservative person today.
After thirty years of globalist Bakerite control of the party, we have the advantage of knowledge in hindsight, which Reagan could not have foreseen- With primaries hopelessly advantaged toward the RINOs, and the RNC in control of Bakerites- who will dole out their monies according to their advantage, there is little hope of true Conservative control of anything in the Republican party, there never was, and there never will be.
It may well be easier to build up the Conservative base in the Republican party- but it is far less effective.
As the Republicans absorb their globalist ideology, we come very close to a one party system- the two parties holding a distinction without a difference. It is high time to build a 3rd (really 2nd) party- One that will offer principled statesmen to return us to Conservative, traditional governance.
