We can, however, decapitate one of the two existing national parties and replace that unit with one more to our liking.
I prefer creating a NEW NATIONAL COMMITTEE and asking the state parties to send delegates to an organizing meeting.
Indulge me for a moment:
Folks forget that Lincoln was not reelected in 1864 by the Republican Party. He was nominated and elected by the National Union Party. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Union_Party_%28United_States%29
In my opinion, that’s exactly what we need now.
In order to work though, it must be premised on about a half dozen or so absolutely non-negotiable principles.
I already have them written, and have the whole structure ready to go, if anyone is interested.
