Personally, I’ve thrown up my hands in despair at the debased state of the GOP. I don’t want to be identified with the party of the child-snatchers. But I respect principled conservatives who are willing to stay and fight to reclaim a once-great party that freed the slaves and helped to win the Cold War. What I can’t respect are head-in-the-sand conservatives who continue to support the GOP by pretending that nothing has changed.
They act, these political ostriches, as if this were still the party of Ronald Reagan and John McCain rather than of Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller — and therefore they cling to the illusion that supporting Republican candidates will advance their avowed views. Wrong. The current GOP still has a few resemblances to the party of old — it still cuts taxes and supports conservative judges. But a vote for the GOP in November is also a vote for egregious obstruction of justice, rampant conflicts of interest, the demonization of minorities, the debasement of political discourse, the alienation of America’s allies, the end of free trade and the appeasement of dictators.
That is why I join Will and other principled conservatives, both current and former Republicans, in rooting for a Democratic takeover of both houses in November. Like postwar Germany and Japan, the Republican Party must first be destroyed before it can be rebuilt.

Left winger supports left wing party, film at 11.
Funny how this comes out when the video of the homosexual guy saying he is leaving the Democrat party over their hate, and has started a campaign for others to do so, and is gaining ground.
Berkeley , works for CNN. Yea give me a break he is a republican,and to say the party of McCain LOL.
This reminds me when election year comes up and they have bumper stickers etc saying Republican for Obama or vets for obama when they were never a vet.
They always have to lie , and can never tell the truth to give the illusion there are more of them than there is.
In December 2017, also in Foreign Policy, Boot wrote that recent events—particularly since the 2016 election of Donald Trump as president—had caused him to rethink some of his previous views concerning the existence of white privilege and male privilege. "In the last few years, in particular, it has become impossible for me to deny the reality of discrimination, harassment, even violence that people of color and women continue to experience in modern-day America from a power structure that remains for the most part in the hands of straight, white males. People like me, in other words. Whether I realize it or not, I have benefitted from my skin color and my gender—and those of a different gender or sexuality or skin color have suffered because of it."[36]He's the lib media's token "conservative", who pretends to be conservative while holding Leftist viewpoints
yep just said the same.
The walk away movement is gaining ground, and now the Post comes out with this!!!
Israel doesn’t need a bunch of self-loathing left-wingers.
Naw, Shrinks love this ****, rich neurotic ****
Same time tomorrow?
I would hardly call anyone who quits the Republican Party to support the Communist/Socialist/Marxist Party a “principled conservative!”
More like deluded dumbasses!
You’d think they would figure out we are on to their shenanigans.
Oh’ this is from Max Boot....never mind...
Max Boot...has been a liberal his whole life....just said he was a Republican.
That’s an H&K from Germany.
Too many have lost track of the fact that we are a nation of laws
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They haven’t lost track of that.
They want to eliminate that.
It’s all about the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA)
The worst vote I ever cast was for McCain, Kerry was unacceptable.
Palin made the stink of McCain tolerable.
I had trepidations about Trump, but this guy gets it, Perot got it too, but they crushed him and millions of US jobs.
I voted proudly for Perot.
Insane.
First deal with the emergency situation. Got to negate obummer’s mess first and save the country from turning into a hellhole, then worry about other things later.
No “barf alert”? You’re slipping. ;)
McCain, is that you?
We are not the party of McCain, that traitor!
I don't believe in that. The philosophy you are suggesting is that someone will vote for the other party in order to keep a parity in the government. Nobody thinks that way and furthermore, it requires a knowledge that there are others who are willing to cross the aisle in their vote.
