Well, prepare yourself for a Republican Party that no longer wins, then. Because they are well on their way to third-party status.

If you/we do the same work that a third party requires (less actually) within the GOP, there would be no need for a third party.

If we can't do it within the GOP, we darn sure can't do it starting from zero.

The problem ain't the party.
