2. Agreed! "Country over Party" is a powerful message - and it's never been more important.

And it does say a lot that prominent Republicans are turning against TFG. His authoritarian message is the reason, he's not a conservative, he does not support "small government," he supports the Russian dictator while Reagan came down hard against the former USSR, his version of Republicanism is only loyalty to him.

4. Good point. Kamala Harris has worked for the people, TFG wants everyone to pledge allegiance and to work for him

5. The best way to destroy the republican party

is to absorb the traditional republicans. Most have already left the party, leaving the crazies behind to carry the name.

We might even be able to teach some incoming republicans compassion.

6. I've certainly thought about that. Thom is right, many of the most proactive are former Republicans.

Once TFG loses, what will happen to the Republican party?? The "party of Lincoln" has a long way back if it continues to exist at all.
