“Why re-invent the wheel! It’s a conservative brand and we need to take it back.”
It’s a brand but a toxic one. When conservatives dislike the brand almost as much as libs do, it’s time to find something else.
Some people don’t get it, new party=vote split ala 1912=democrat supermajorites=game over, we’re France.
And what makes them think they can undertake the mammoth effort of starting a new party and driving the GOP to extinction when they can’t even get enough people to nominate conservative Republicans? Which one of those things sounds 500 times harder than the other? And guess what, the new party would become the Republicans with a new name. What a silly waste of time.
I say we should stop whining about the GOPE and keep primarying them, it’s the only thing to do in our voting system. Want to try and change that system? Maybe a good idea, but good luck making that happen.
