That may be fine at the national level, but state and local levels are too entrenched in the establishment. And that is the core of the party operations. Why do you think we get the likes of a Bonehead speaker.

Well the Communists were successful in taking the Democrat Party. Of course all it took was spreading money around, and my guess is they would have been successful in the Republican Party too. Though when they started their takeover of the Democratic Party, the Republican Party was not nearly as corrupt as they are now. We just have to be patient and keep applying pressure. We can't expect it to happen in one cycle or perhaps even 10 cycles. But if we keep persevering we'll gain momentum, and success will follow. Creating a successful 3rd party is not an easy task, especially in this day & age. That has been attempted for quite some time now, with no success whatsoever, except at the local level.

Donald Trump gives me cause for great concern, not for what he says, but for what he has said and supported in the past which is in direct opposition to what he now says. That being said I applaud Donald for his contributions thus far. I still like Ted Cruz better, but Trump can keep attacking the GOPe, media and others as far as I am concerned. The big bonus though is the GOPe is getting the message loud and clear, that the base wants nothing to do with the establishment, and they are running scared. The Ted Cruz's and Dr. Ben Carson are riding higher than they probably would if Trump hadn't thrown his hat into the ring. At least that is my opinion.
