I believe if the GOP ends.. you are right, conservatives will have more of a voice in a new party.. they will also be marginalized and it will be a minority party with little real power. U.S. citizens are pretty much statists now and only statist type GOP (Bush anyone) can win.. even Romney couldn’t because he was too capitalist..very sad. The question is would you rather (try to) influence a larger party closer to your beliefs or capitulate to the DNC and break the Republican party into smaller factions?
I believe that we are on course for a political divorce of some sort. That’s going to happen whether I like it or not.
The gop is whistling past the graveyard; its a damaged brand that few have any enthusiasm for. As for capitulation to the ‘rats, we already have that. So how is breaking up the gop going to have any effect except for the positive?
