LOL - you said: I like your (Dem) third party demise, but not my (Rep) third party demise.

You seem to be wedded to the Republican party & would rather have a “win” than principles.

I guess I am one of those “purists” you are discussing. And I dont see a benefit to following either down the path of destruction: Republican socialists who will walk us down the path or the Democrat socialists who will run us down that path.
I prefer principled conservatives

The REALITY is that with our system there are only TWO viable political parties. I know there are many who are totally deluded that a "pure" party can be developed but it isn't going to happen. Human nature is human nature--we have flaws.

YOU can either get engaged and work to help improve the Republican party or you can help the Democrats. There are no other choices.
