Unfortunately, the Repub party has many former democrats who were quite liberal but unable to stomach the stench and insanity of the Rats. We’re kind of stuck with them. That’s why the two party system is broken. We can’t achieve representation of our views.

But it is not the rank & file that we need to purge. The faux "leadership," are frankly either too stupid, too cowed, or too indifferent, to understand the real issues, which will determine whether America survives in a recognizable form.

Again, we cannot allow those who think it is "sophisticated" or "enlightened," to be "politically correct," to continue to define the Party. Trump & Cruz get it. The modern equivalent of Hans Christian Andersen's courtiers in the "Emperor's New Clothes," simply do not.
