Sorry, I fought the “internal struggle” in the GOP as hard as anyone for twenty years. I know the score, intimately. It ain’t me that is delusional. It’s anyone who continues to willfully close their eyes to what became obvious quite some time ago, that the formerly grand old party will do NOTHING to return this republic to the principles upon which its survival depends.
We either build a new vehicle to forward the cause of life and liberty, or America has no chance. None.
What I think you are missing is that even if a third party does grow to become anything of consequence it’s going to be subject to the exact same internal battles you’ve already retreated from.
If you don’t have the mettle to stand your ground in the battle for one party, you deceive yourself that retreating to safe and undisputed territory is anything other than cowardly desertion and betrayal of your brothers in arms.
A wound from a friend.
