Hmmmmm...I'm in and would be contributing BUT I wonder how many of the 275 so-called Republican Reps & Senators would make the change before the 2014 election cycle.

50%, 40%, 30%...how many?

Let's try to name them, with a probability percentage...

IMO, it might not be that important that they do it.

Their choice if they have a ‘new party’ president, could be to support him or the Democrats. You would hope to get most of the Republicans anyway.

Over the next few years after that win, a lot would change parties to become in tune with the President.

In Texas, we have 36 reps. 24 so-called republicans and 12 RATS.

Of the 24 so-called pubbies, I want to believe that there are, maybe, 10 real Cruz-type supporters of change.

That means in Texas, which is probably more anti-GOPe than any other state, we bring 11 out 38 (just under 30%) DC types to the Freedom Party movement.

Getting the rest of the country to that level would be tough, if not impossible.
