Show us the path if there is one we don’t know about.

Well, the Republican party started in 1854 or 56 (IIRC) and ran a candidate who lost. They held together and ran another candidate the next election -- and they won. The candidate's name was Abraham Lincoln.

The current GOPe only offer more of the same -- more Bushs, more Doles, more McCains. Already we foresee a Bush or Rubio or Christie as the probable next GOPe candidate. The GOP will offer a slate of conservatives, and that will splinter the primary votes, as it did in 2008 and 2012.

I just do no see a way that 'conservatives' can do much from within. Their one golden opportunity was regarding the election of the House Speaker earlier this year, and they blew that. As soon as they reelected him, he replaces several of the 'conservative' committee chairs.

If conservatives stay, it will be more of the same, repeats of 2008 and 2012. If they go, they might be able to formulate a viable new party in a couple of election cycles.

The Northern Republicans ran A. Lincoln as their candidate. Stephen Douglas was the Northern Democrat. There was also a Southern Dem and a Southern Rep. Lincoln won enough electoral votes to become President of the Union. And within 60 days of his taking office, the South fired on Fort Sumter. No matter what candidate comes along, Providence will also have a hand in matters. And those matters could be more historical than others.

Don't you think a couple of election cycles is more wishful thinking that reality for the development of a third party? I hate the thought of how nasty it will get to replace all these rinos while stamping down the left as well but I really don't see any other path.

Also, do you think the country has that much time to endure say a hillary for eight years and then try and reassemble whats left of the country? Especially, if amnesty goes through and the left has a permanent majority as well as the ability to manipulate each and every election with so much fraud we are overwhelmed.

Personally, I never imagined that zero and his regime could do as much damage as they have done in a scant eight year and they are not through yet!!

We could be looking at 20/25 trillion in short term debt by 2016 and longer term from 100-150 trillion. Basically, bankrupt. No nation could come back from that.

Are you saying regroup and hope there is a nation to come back to?

Worse yet what happens if we regroup and find a rino contingent working into the party within the first ten years? What then? I"m skeptical to say the least about the potential for a third party. Thirty years ago no problem. Now,things move too fast and we are too far along the pathway to national destruction,IMHO.
