Just one more reason the GOP needs to just die and go the way of the Whigs.
I’ve resigned my affiliation with the GOP and will never vote for one of their candidates again - unless it’s a staunch Conservative in the likeness of Reagan or better.
If indeed we ever even have an election again - I’m most likely going to go for candidates who are Conservative in a third party.
“unless it’s a staunch Conservative in the likeness of Reagan or better.”
In my case, I don’t want a conservative...I want a right-wing mofo like Dick Cheney. I’m past being a conservative.

The problem is not that we don’t have anybody that is as conservative as Reagan - we do. What we DON’T have is a conservative that can COMMUNICATE one tenth as well as Reagan.
I remember many times, some liberal reporter would shove a camera in Reagan’s face and ask him a leading question just to try and make him look bad. The genius of Reagan was the way he could just cock his head slightly, give a slight smile, and then proceed to answer the question in simple, folksy terms that even the dumbest sheeple could understand. And with that answer, thousands of new Reagan voters would be born.
There simply are not enough existing conservatives to get a president elected. We have to have someone that can explain things simply enough that we can garner the other 5 - 10 million votes that we need. And unfortunately, unless he has been kept well hid, I don’t see the second coming of Reagan anywhere on the horizon.
I am still registered GOP just so I can vote in Primaries..I have not given them one red cent in years....
