Scaling back government and fiscal responsibility are more than petty third party issues. They used to be Republican values.
What have your third party canndidates ever done to scale back government?
He just don't get it.
This is why so many former and current Republicans are just plain disgusted and feel disenfranchised.
Open border chaos, bad trade policies, a government that has grown by leaps and bounds, are just a few of the issues that have left many rethinking where to put their support.
Petty issues these are not.
It doesn't take a political scholar to predict that eventually, there will be another, grassroots political party that will go head to head with both of the current beltway parties in DC. As more each year feel left out and ignored by the powerful twin beltway parties, It's inevitable.
I believe the last presidential election was a preview of the disenchantment among many voters. The recent statements from the Bush administrations, Asa Hutchinson just last week are just more proof, that many rank and file conservatives are no longer being represented.
The hopes of real conservative leadership have faded and become blurred in the past 4 years, while the resentment has become all to clear.
