You speak truth, oh DoughtyOne. We've been handed an imperfect savior, a last chance to save this once great nation. And conservatives who "smell blood" (can I say that anymore?) will strive to eliminate Trump because they have a delusional idea that somehow it will mean they'll be winners.

It has never been more clear how out-of-control the puppetmasters and their media mouthpieces are. Most people back down long before it's reached the level it has with Trump. Every "conservative" going along with the mainstream attempting to take down Trump is part of the problem. Now, they're compromised, and they should realize they're never gonna' be handed the prize, unless they completely sell out.

I submit that the only way things can change is Trump going third party, with an excellent VP who isn't dependent on his status as a Republican. He could win third party. The dissatisfaction cuts across party lines and I submit it's about 75% of US citizens. Then there's those Sanders supporters who aren't going to be really accepting of hillary vs Jeb.

Throwing the whole mess into total disarray will be the only way to clean house. The fringe benefit? It would be the end of the Republican Party.

Correct me where I'm not making sense, please.

I don’t want to correct you, because I think your views are fairly solid. Naturally I’m going to think that because we agree over all. I will give you a slight tweak on your last thought.

Providing Trump did get elected to the presidency, these are the two vehicles for doing it. Which is best.

I believe there are two bodies of thought on third party as it relates to a viable opposition to the Democrat party.

1. Go third party and start over. Bring in good people and build from the ground up with Conservatism as the guiding principle.

I see some problems with this. If you do this, who is your ally in the Senate and House? To get legislation passed, you need team players over there. Now this reality may set some people off, but remember, the President sets policy. His party in Congress generally rubber stamps it.

I’m not convinced this is the right way to go.

2. Remain within the Republican structure. Install new people. Change the party for the better.

I see some problems with this. Ronald Reagan changed things. He went against his own party and drove through much of his agenda. And then what happened. Within four years we were back to Dull, Bush, McStain, and Romney.

I’m not convinced this is right the way to go.

Nothing is easy in live.
