And intelligent conservatives have been quietly leaving the GOP in favor of the Libertarian Party for over 50 years -- just about the same time frame since leftist radicals started hijacking the Democratic Party.
And we can still close ranks whenever a threat like AOC's crowd turns up.
It’s Seig Heil, not Hiel.
I wouldn’t bring it up, but you misspelled it 4 times in one rant.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) may be all in for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in the 2020 Democratic primary, but on Thursday the congresswoman committed to supporting whoever wins the party’s nomination.
“I’ve said throughout this entire process that what is so important is that we ultimately unite behind who that Democratic nominee is,” Ocasio-Cortez told “Late Night” host Seth Meyers."
Republicans are desperately hoping for a split in the Democratic Party where either Bernie is nominated and centrists stay home or vote for Trump or where Biden is nominated and leftists stay home or vote third party.
The problem with those scenarios is the unifying effect that Donald Trump has on the opposition as well as his own base. He’s a known quantity now and is not going to get the benefit of the doubt. He is what he is.
The election will won or lost in the suburbs, which is precisely where the Republican Party has been taking a pasting since 2016. The link below is to an article written by former moderate Republican congressman Charlie Dent.

The ever-expanding circle around Philadelphia and other urban population centers poses an existential threat to the GOP. It's hard to imagine a scenario where Republican losses in the suburbs can be offset by increased gains in rural areas; the math simply doesn't work.
Yes, the rural areas of Pennsylvania, and America more broadly, are becoming more Republican and red while the suburbs are becoming more blue and Democratic. But it's better to grow and win in areas where the population is increasing rather than in areas of population stagnation or decline, and that is the key Democratic advantage heading into 2020.
Overall, the Pennsylvania elections of 2017, 2018, and 2019 were very unkind to the Republican Party and the trend does not bode well for next year. 2020 could be another terrible Republican year given President Trump's high unfavorability ratings that are driven by his increasingly erratic behavior and misconduct in office. Maybe he can pull another inside straight in Pennsylvania where he won in 2016 by 44,000 votes while losing big in the Philadelphia suburbs. That said, the political environment is worse now than in 2016, making Trump's Pennsylvania re-election prospects improbable and imperiling down-ballot congressional and state legislative candidates.

If that were true, Hillary would have won. And the fact that he is a known quantity is a plus.....he's actually made better decisions than I thought he would and turned out to be a better president than I expected. And face it, the choice will either be Trump v a socialist or Trump v a status-quo candidate suffering from dementia. Trump wins.
