"America needs a healthy two-party system. America needs a healthy center-right party to ensure that the Democrats remain a healthy center-left party. America needs a center-right party ready to offer market-based solutions to issues like climate change. America needs a center-right party that will support common-sense gun laws. America needs a center-right party that will support common-sense fiscal policy. America needs a center-right party to support both free trade and aid to workers impacted by it. America needs a center-right party that appreciates how much more complicated foreign policy is today, when you have to manage weak and collapsing nations, not just muscle strong ones. But this Republican Party is none of those things. " That's how I feel, and why i left. At some point we stand up, or we sell out. I'm tired of trying to excuse the inexcusable just because it's politically expedient. Wrong is wrong, even if it gets votes. Right is right, even if it costs political capital to defend. if Trump is now what a Republican is, I'm not. |

The time is ripe for America to eliminate both parties...They are so corrupt, irrelevant , and archaic that their continued existence is a national disgrace.........

Still a stupid article by a total moron America has two choices: center right democrats, or extreme right republicans The left is left out of the political equasion in America. It's now a contest between who can suck up to the billionaire class better, the peasantry waits at the backdoor to go dumpster diving for the scraps |

America has 3 choices: center right Democrats, right wing Republicans or American Socialists. Carl Marx's ship has finally arrived on the American shore. |

Same here. I've been a Republican for 40+ years, but the Trump vision of the party goes against everything I believe is American. It conflicts with my core values, and on a practical scale, makes little sense. |

In Europe we have seen that populist parties in Austria and France have eclipsed the center right. In the USA, there may be room for only one party of the right and that right wing party has been taken over by its National Front faction - long may the globalist wing be vanquished. |

Skipping leg day is the equivalent of a woman having an abortion. You're ashamed of it, and it was probably unnecessary. #MAGA #wallsnotwars | |

Good riddance. The era of putting corporate interests and Israel ahead of the needs of the American people is at an end. |

You're angry and absolutist. You're about as useful as the tea party. All or nothing. No compromise. Impractical and unviable. Good luck. |
