The extremists and the libertarians cannot change the GOP. You nearly wrecked it with your hate. You are going to see the official GOP reach out to Hispanics and blacks and women on issues in ways with which those constituencies will respond affirmatively. The GOP leadership and mainstream realizes to go into the future that these constituencies, far more than yours, are the way to victory in the future. No more hate.
You can still change it. Trust me you can change it.Theodore Roosevelt headed a liberal third party, the Progressive party. I would accept the Republican party of Lincoln as also being a liberal third party. Third parties are not successful in the US because of the electoral system. Change the electoral college and we could have third parties but there is little chance of that. We have a two party system and generally if the third party has any backing it turns out badly for one of the major two parties. Nope, it's two parties.You will never hear the Left call for a third party. They eagerly embrace the calls of conservative-mined types to create one. I voted for Ross Perot, and got Clinton because of it. F that. Change the Republican party from within, which has been happening albeit slowly since '08.
