Who will republicans run I wonder, will they dig up the dead rotting corpse of Bob Dole so he can once again run as a moderate? Perhaps Jeb Boooosh so we can have yet another boooosh in the white house?

I still can't believe I voted for McCain I used to be a republican but am not longer, McCain ended it for me.



Read about the standard bearer of the repuke party today The wife U.S. Republican John McCain callously left behind

What a creepy little snail yet these are the kinds of "men" the modern repuke party was to saddle me with.

Among former republicans I know I am not alone and I feel Hilary will be an easy win.
I'm right there with you other than I'm not sure Hillary will be an easy win. But everything else you said speaks for me.

As often as I had the opportunity, I told R leaders for years before 2012 that if Romney won the nomination, ever, I would never vote again.

I didn't and I won't.

I'm done!

Shhhhhhh, don't tell the OP. S/he thinks it's a big deal and thread-worthy.

Why don't you vote for the Libertarian candidate?
As a RW voter you don't HAVE to vote GOP, you DO have a choice of another party with kinda' sorta' similar positions on many things.

I am not denying that the demographics of the country is changing.

I just think you are being a drama queen.

Both parties have evolved on its core constituents and this will continue to happen. The GOP will have to become more moderate on some positions in my opinion.
