Indeed....they've been "withering on the vine" for a long time now.
What is our alternative though?
We have to create a viable alternative party or some how take over the GOP and return it to Conservative principles.
All I'm seeing right now is a dedicated left smelling blood in the water and going after R's with a vengeance....and the R's bending over and taking it.
I don’t know. We will need a real party with the ability to keep ballot access... (at least 5% in most states)
