Truth, Justice, and the American Way.
IMHO there is one thing missing about discussions dealing with political parties.
Like it or not they have lead, directly, to the growth of government. The divisiveness we are seeing today is the logical outgrowth of political parties. Without political parties providing a continuity of thought after a person has left office you would see some level of change every election cycle because the spokesperson for that political view would be out of office.
As the expansion of political continuity between election cycles grew so did the size of government. Primarily because the political parties spent more time ensuring their political continuity than anything else. This has gotten so bad that the current Attorney General has openly stated that the Democrats are, through their appointment and hiring practices, ensuring that Obama’s policies will be continued long after he has left office regardless of which party wins the 2016 national elections.
We have become a nation that places political loyalty above service to the Republic; one of our founding fathers’ biggest fears.
Only Cruz can save the GOP. Trump gives the same old oligarch vibes. Dump Trump!

No, but a new conservative party may rise up if the Republicans don’t return to their status as an opposition party to the Democrats instead of “liberal-lite”.
Today’s political parties have become nothing more than money laundering operations for lobbyist/donor money.
They have enabled the wholesale purchase of government.
They no longer serve the individual constituent taxpaying voter.
