This fantasy of a third party is indeed a fools errand. We can take over the GOP.

I agree. Take over the GOP - lock, stock, and barrel. We built it anyhow, not the political hacks and deal makers who took over while we slept and now run it.

Let them start their own third party. It will fail just as they are failing now.

How are they failing? They have complete control over the party. That party now controls both houses of congress. They are in the process of marginalizing the remnant conservatism in the party. They have a pipeline to easy money, through the magic of crony capitalism. Where, precisely, are they failing?

They aren't. Any they are also not going to allow us to "take over the GOP - lock, stock, and barrel". Quite the contrary. They are going to use their considerable power (much of which was given to them a month ago, by the very people they mean to crush), to ensure that conservatism itself is driven from the mainstream of political thought.

Yeah, so how`s that takeover thingy going? Call me when you even start, let alone succeed!
