“What is the issue those who dropped out, had with the GOP?”
Same reasons I changed my party affiliation from Republican to unaffiliated after 40 years.
1) No principles
2) Poor leadership
3) Unwillingness to serve the people who elect them.
I’ll bet the group of freepers who delighted in screaming PURIST!!! as the cause of all our evils a short while back are about in a full case of the vapors over this.
Bummer.
