Whatever Rs who have SOME light in their soul aren't staying the party to fight for it, they are leaving it.

And frankly, there are VERY few of them.

Everyone who is remaining either is really into where the party is going or callous enough to stay in it and play the game they need to play to keep getting elected/make $ off the conservative gravy train.

The GOP has rolled over and given him its belly.

It's over, it is is his party.
