Actually, I don’t have an abundance of optimism. I know that the sell-out-America wing of the GOP is very much out there. John McCain has reincarnated as Mitt Romney, after all.
Trump ran as a Republican though, not a third party. If he had, he would be Mr. Trump, private citizen. He is making changes the sell-outs don’t like. He is popular, they’re not. He’s had half a term. I’m still cutting him some slack.
Let’s be honest, too. If you think Social Security and Medicare and big FedGov “safety nets” can work, than you’re for Big Government, too. A lot of the sell-outs are just trying to make that work, for you.

They could save us a lot of money and extend the viability of such program by doing something to stop the widespread cheating and fraud. The amount of fraud is absolutely enormous; four years ago it was estimated to be $60 billion. Imagine what it is now. But they don’t really want to do that. They just want to keep spending more as its easier than correcting systemic problems.
But let’s get back to the party issue. Trump is not respected or loved by the GOP. He won the presidency in spite of them. Speaking of frauds, Trump’s supporters know exactly what most of the GOP really is — a deceptive and disingenuous gang of sell outs.
It is an ineffective and soulless party in need of real competition.
