You would have to expand and define what you believe a true Republican is. That is an ever changing definition that no one has a monopoly on. Also, the right wing Republican Party (and the party as a whole) is far more resilient than you believe them to be. They are not Whigs yet.

But both of those things are for another thread.

If the Republican Party is dead why do they control the House and are poised to do the same in the Senate

Because they have no leadership. Something Mitt has proven excellent at.

Gerrymandered districts in the House and certain Democratic demographics less likely to head to the polls in an off year :twisted:

But they had to gain control when the Democrats had the districts gerrymandered.

There are a lot of things that I agree with libertarians on. Unfortunately, many libertarians do not understand the threat that radical jihadists present to the United States.
Ha.
Care to expand that into a complete thought?

I will admit that my opinion on the Russia/Putin situation is just a lay person's.
That's cool. 8)

Basically it it doesn't happen between the borders of the US we shouldn't get involved. That's it in a nut shell. Anyone who believes differently is a sheep.
Stick around, you'll find those things out.
