The RNC and a number of the weaker state parties are what everybody wants to walk away from and creating someplace to walk to does not mean you need to set up an entirely new party ~ just connect compatible state structures together and go with that. I suggest you link Texas, Indiana, Michigan and a Western state first ~ while dumping New York and the entire Northeast.
To an extent I agree. But when you strip off parts of the GOP machine to use, you bring the cancer into the new host.
The machine, from aides to secretaries is GOP. Thus every bit the problem. All the staffers are mercenary. They work for GOP this cycle, Dem the next.
All these unemployed people out there and we cannot find new blood?
