To: who knows what evil?

You support the idea of a 3rd conservative party.

It really is the only option, wkwe.

There is no turning the republican party to the right. The GOP-E owns it lock, stock, and barrel. They’ve written the rules so that it will never be taken out of their hands.

Reagan tried, but the rules people simply waited for his time to pass. This is no longer Ronald Reagan’s republican party. This is Joe Liebermann’s republican party.

The avowed Conservative voters inside the Republican umbrella are at a minimum 40% of total party actual, on the ground voting strength.

African Americans have a similar impact inside the Democrat coalition in the 25 some states where they are mostly located (and where they run some cities, which always gives a voting bloc a bit more clout).

The Democrats cannot afford to have a black walkout. The Republicans cannot afford to have a Conservative walkout.

All same thing in both cases ~ total party meltdown.

On the other hand, the 60% of the part that is not strictly Conservative is broken up into several different groups. There is the 15% GOP-e crowd ~ they are a full 25% of the remaining 60% which gives them a bit more recognition among regular Republicans than they deserve. They also control the rump Republican parties in the states like Massachuetts and New York without significant Republican control, and certainly without Conservative control.

But, they're still only 15% of the total on the ground Republican base voting strength and can be, if an attempt is made, KICKED TO THE CURB like an old paper cup from 7/11.

The Conservatives still outvote all the other blocs.

Maybe the way to start this is to deny the GOP-e a Convention Quorum. I don't know what the quorum rules are, but if the delegates don't go the convention doesn't happen. There are ways to make this an objective.
