” I would respectfully submit that it could be wiser to stay in and try to fix it from inside.”

At one time, that might have worked...back in the day when conservatives were a vital constituency. Those days are gone. The Republican Party is now controlled by liberals. Conservatives are no longer welcome. The party of Reagan is no more.

It’s time conservatives take the hint, form their own party and recruit candidates who will best represent their interests.

I tried to touch on that on my post # 67. Forming a third party would simply be creating another Libertarian Party or Constitutional Party, and of the three largest third parties (Libertarian, followed by Green, followed by Constitutional) all of them have no impact. Even the three combined (assuming the Greens dropped socialism and worked with the other two third-parties) would still have no impact. As I said in my post, RINOs and Conservatives are a symbiotic organism ...they need each other. It is just that the RINOs have been in the driver's seat. Conservatives should take over driving duties in a similar way that they did in 2010, where they not only gave RINOs a punch in the mouth, but also gave the Dems a black eye.

Anything else is a Pyrrhic victory, where those leaving will definitely feel good, but would have a) no impact and b) just gave the Dems the perfect gift.
