There are a portion of Republicans who will not tolerate having their representatives give concessions to, compromise with, or even appear to work with Democrats. Hell they can't even be seen as being friendly with Democrats if they want to keep their seats in congress.
Not all Republicans are outraged by their representative's mere association with a Democrat but enough are that it makes there current party absolutely useless to the American people. On multiple occasions since they've become the majority their leaders in the House have had to come hat and hate in hand to Nancy Pelosi for help in carrying on with the nation's business and overcoming disarray in their own party . But dysfunction is only one of their problems.
There main problem seems to stem from a complete loss of identity. RINO is a phrase Republicans were fond of using when it came to defining who in their party was a real Republican and who wasn't. But today a large number of its supporters fit squarely in the RINO category. They support a leader who they know in all honesty is not a real Republican and by example does not share what they say are Republican values.
This problem is a direct result of the GOP depending on right wing and alternative media to make their case for them. Rather than Republicans making the case for themselves through accomplishments. This truth is born out when you ask any Republican what was the last thing the party did that benefited the people of this country ?
I am not saying that the Republicans with in the party need to leave it and start a new party. What the party needs are members who are willing to stand up and say I am not going down a road to nowhere built by Fox News, talk radio or radical conspiracy theory websites fostering anger and discontentment within MY party.
A disastrous Trump defeat would be the party's chance to make the case against this state of servitude to its media arm. They can lay that lost squarely in the laps of those who promoted a RINO and enhanced the power his power over THEIR party.
I am not saying they need to join the Democrats either. Let them become the "Runaway Republicans" members who are willing to sit on their hands on votes that meant to gum up the works rather than address the problem at hand. Let them become the Republicans who are willing to say NO, to saying no, purely for the sake of saying no.
