The heck with that. If republicans were doing what they were voted in office to do, they wouldn’t have to worry about defections to a third party.
Republican wins in mid terms have made no difference in my life.
I would suggest it’s time to retake the Republican Party itself and force the national guys sitting in Fairfax to start their own party. Start by forcing every single Republican running for any office (state or national) to also sign a pledge....and it’ll be pledge going beyond “acting” Republican....you have to vote and assume all actions required right now, or face retirement in the spring primary period.
