Does that mean only the Dems will exist?
Or...?
My point, before I too leave is:
If you can’t do it within the GOP, the party with the vast majority of conservatives, you can’t do it from scratch.
Whatever the tasks, people, tactics, communication, leadership, organization, etc., they are the same. Only it takes a great deal more effort and time to do it from scratch.
Reagan didn’t leave or blame the party. I don’t think it makes any sense either.
