The way I read it, a large percentage of those who are registered Republicans, no longer identify with the Republican Party.
I am a Conservative in New Hampshire, who told the GOPe to stuff it two years ago.
I just got an email from some State GOPe broad, thanking me for responding to a survey (Which I didn’t!) and inviting me to sit down with her over a cup of coffee to discuss how I could help the party as a volunteer.
I responded, telling her that I never responded to the survey, and was a Conservative, not a Republican because the GOPe had lied to me for the last time.
I believed Kelly Ayotte. She lied to all of us!
