I might point out that I am a very conservative Republican who has worked in the political field for a very long time.
Republicans MUST gain the majority somewhere in order to stop the utter destruction being done by these Democrats.
I can't make it perfect and neither can you. We must go for the BEST we can get and build on it.
I might point out that right now we have and EXCELLENT core conservative base in DC on which to build.
Never, ever do anything to make it easy for a Democrat to gain elected office.
Look at Minnesota and the havoc those 3000 "third party" voters have wrought.
A third party can provide veto power over bad republican candidates. We should put the party on notice that the only way for them to enjoy power is to join us.
