“Why? Everyone assumes that existing conservative officeholders can’t switch to the new party on Day One.”
I don’t think you understand how the “political frat brothers” think and how they have their noses up the asses of anyone who may boost their political career while ignoring their real job of representing the voters who put them there.
THEY WON’T SWITCH PARTIES because come the next election, if things did not go right, they won’t be let back into the “frat house”.

I don’t think you understand. I responded to a post that talked about the gains we’ve made. These frat brothers are asses in seats, but are not “gains”. We have to have the short term loss of creating a new party so we can make real gains. The ones who are willing to leave the frat are welcome. The rest are just Progs with an R after their name and do us more harm than good.
