You will put out people who don't believe to your minimum standards... but then it ain't that serious...
I can’t put anyone out of anything. I’ve filled out a voter registration form for myself only. I can’t make anyone do anything.
What I won’t do is beg anyone to stay in the party.

A country has a right to control it's borders. To call everyone who supports that position a racist or xenophobe is hyperbole and bad politics. I realize that's what Hispanic groups and "one world" leftists support ....virtually open borders..... and that's why the party caters to that position. Rest assured, that was the position that turned the election to Trump.
Either you’re a believer or you’re not. If you’re not, leave. It’s that simple. I’m not begging anyone to see things the way I do. I’m not a recruiter for the Democratic Party.
And I didn’t say a damn thing about being a racist or a xenophobe. You said that.
Wow! Coming from you - cause I've seen your posts - we may have debated a few times back and forth...but I know how you feel about Republicans and especially Trump - so for you to say this...is quite a shock.
I'm certain you'll never be a "Hannity Republican" since you've made it clear in the past how you feel about Hannity. And I know you don't like Trump.
So - what will you do at election time?
The problem is, the people who need to hear this either aren't listening or don't care. Or both. I've seen a lot of Dems leave their party. Some go Republican, some don't, but they will not vote for Dems anymore because of some of the same things you said here, plus a whole lot of other reasons. Ultimately, they feel betrayed, as you do, according to what you've written.
The left needs to stop letting the SJWs and far left speak for them. Those people are destroying the Dem party, and yet they are the smallest percent of people in this country.

I guess I'm the opposite of you.
I don't do parties... they need to agree with me. I don't care who it is.
I also understand everyone is different and has their own standards, and those standards can evolve at any point in time. So I just take people as they are and roll with it.
They don’t understand nor care. They figure there’s more illegals and dimwit Dems who can’t comprehend what’s happening, that we who do see what’s happening do not matter. They lost me several years ago. Plus I used to think that Limbaugh and Hannity didn’t know what they were talking about, but now I know they are correct about so many issues.
Limbaugh and Hannity are purveyors of propaganda and fake news, basically one in the same.
I am willing to bet the Republicans are losing more than the Democrats and they aren't switching parties. They are going independent.
Texas is already on its way to becoming Brazil. Their Texas sized egos only made Texas more desirable to Californians. Big cities, big houses, big highways, big everything. Dumbasses.

Trump is shrinking the Republican Party, not expanding his base, and the dominant groups within the GOP (non-college whites and religious conservatives) are older groups that have been slowly diminishing for at least twenty years.
Winning ain’t everything. When I talk to a fellow Democrat, I want to know that he’s a believer. If he’s not, he should take a long walk off a short pier. Bye.
Losing elections sucks, but there are worse things in this world. Unlike you, the sun doesn’t rise or set in my life based on who’s in office. It ain’t that serious.
Winning is everything. Demanding ideological purity is not a winning strategy and if you don’t win you can’t get what you want.
I'm seeing lots of folks embracing a more Libertarian stance on things. Many of liberal friends are throwing up their hands because their entire party is leaning too far to the left. They can't handle the insanity, constant hatred and muckraking.
