The only way to do this, is to get a bunch of current congress critters to make a 3rd party ... It must be done from the inside. It will fail if done from the outside.

And it can't just be at the federal level. It has to include state and local politicians. I think much of the grassroots would migrate anyway, and probably a fair amount of the big money. The key is to get the Republican party infrastructure to move away from the dark side.

This is a major challenge, but the sentiment is definitely strong enough that it is possible. If the ball were to start rolling, I think the tipping point would be reached fairly quickly.

Again, I concur. You are exactly correct IMHO.

Hey, but what do I know.

Your thinking is logical, but Rove would disagree.
