Maybe sooner than you think. They can see the writing on the wall with Trump's surge, they know the base is very unhappy with the leadership of the GOP, they just haven't had any recourse until now.
Now you have Cruz openly defying the leadership. And I suspect, Cruz behind the scenes is recruiting others to revolt against the leadership, and either force them out, or bolt and start a new party.
Man I hope you are right! Otherwise we continue down the proverbial drain we are in now.
We need to be watchful, Obama just visited Kenya to pick up some more pointers on running a third world nation.
Your response was the one I was looking for, and I too think that the time is getting ripe for something to happen as you so well stated here:
""""""Now you have Cruz openly defying the leadership. And I suspect, Cruz behind the scenes is recruiting others to revolt against the leadership, and either force them out, or bolt and start a new party."""""""
If these men are Honest, honest with themselves, become fearless and step out NOW, gathering some of the Strength that Ted Cruz has shown, things CAN CHANGE.
I don't care if they seem to be imitating Sen. Cruz, I don't care if they borrow from his strength, all I care about is Just Do it now and don't worry about what people will think.
They and in turn we may not EVER have another chance like this one to Stand and Deliver on the promises they make to their constituents.
