Reagan didn’t leave or blame the party. I don’t think it makes any sense either.

Okay, to everyone now using the talking point that "Reagan did not leave the GOP, he fought to transform it and so should we" - I have a question.

Why didn't Reagan stay within the Democrat party and try reforming it from within instead of jumping parties?

The answer reveals why Conservatives cannot and should not stay within the GOP and hope in vain to change it.

Not if they want any relevant political voice in the future.

The GOP has not only left us, it has gone to war against us and foisted a near-clone of an overt Marxist upon us as the national nominee.

Principled Conservatives need to find another party and let the GOP become absorbed into the Democrat party. This nation was built from scratch, so making a new home from scratch for Conservatives is cake in comparison.

I'm done being a battered wife voter for the adulterous GOP.

Because the Democrat party is the home for liberals and the GOP is the home for Conservatives. The great majority of conservatives who vote in primaries vote GOP.

We have a two party system. Which one conservatives should choose to make more conservative is obvious. Was to Reagan, should be to us.
