I'm worried that going the 3rd party route is just unrealistic, but maybe the threat of losing the Conservative base will pull the Republican leadership back to the right.
It will do no such thing. What it
will do is guarantee a revival of a democrat party that is on the ropes and ready to be knocked out. I personally don't give a damn what Glenn Beck says; he went to bomb thrower status a long time ago in my eyes. What I do care about is getting rid of the RINO element in the current GOP. Too many inroads have been made in the last 4 years, too many victories for conservatives, sending RINOs out to pasture in the primaries, etc to just give up now.
Anyone who thinks along these lines (giving up on the Republican Party) says that conservatism is no bigger, and no more powerful, than the politics of two men (Boehner and McConnell) which is close to what the democrats have been saying for years to demoralize us and fracture whatever unity we have.
There is no one who would love to see the GOP split into warring groups than the liberal democrats. So maybe, instead, we should study how the lunatic left infiltrated the democrat party and changed it. The blueprint is there, we just have to read it.
