Sorry, I don't buy it. And I'm not willing to surrender to the Democrat Party. The Democrat Party is pure evil to me. The litmus test for judges in Democrat opinion means a qualified judicial nominee must be an abortionist, feminist, homosexualist, anti-second amendment, anti-states rights, anti-Constitution, anti-America and anti-God.

No thank you!! Surrendering to the Democrats is out of the question!!

I don't consider supporting a conservative party and candidates "surrender"...we'll just have to agree to disagree on semantics.

Stay in the thrall of the Republican establishment and you'll be constantly on the defensive, fighting a rear guard action that will only see defeat. Your own command has sold you out, so to speak. Do you really think that the Republican Party leadership doesn't know what its base wants? Sure they do, they just choose to ignore it.

No, the leadership wants to get elected. Principle does not matter. It will do whatever it can to do to retain office. Presently, the leadership is engaged in electoral-demographic suicide (open borders), thinking (wrongly) that will curry favor with certain interest groups. That should be a great illustration as to where the leadership of the GOP is, and where it's going.

At some point, you just have to realize you can't rehabilitate a broken institution.
