If people like me leave the party, that just gives them even more power.

Bingo.

The party has already left you, friend. What we are seeing this week is the Republican Party. Its biggest factions are now Trumpites and Cruzians—if you're okay with that reality, stay. But moderates aren't going anywhere among the GOP's ranks. Not anymore.

Then where do you suggest we go?
Libertarians? Or form a new party and nominate a popular centrist?

So here's what you guys are saying. The GOP has so forsaken moderates that it would be a better strategy to join the Libertarians (lol) or start a new party (bigger lol) to get moderate-conservative legislation passed. Yeah that's absolute bs, and that's why people like Brown Line will stay in the grand old party.

Where will you draw the line though? You can only move away from your preferred policies so far.

Trust me, the line where becoming a Libertarian over a Republican in order to best get moderate-conservative legislation passed won't be crossed in my lifetime.

Do you seriously find nothing wrong with calling for the execution of someone on the basis of political disagreeances? Christ, there is just no decency here.

So please tell me you're trying to be funny and ironic. Otherwise, you're no better than that WV delegate.

If you liked that, I hear there's an absolutely electric totalitarian regime in North Korea right now that you might like.

Top kek bro. I'll have to check it out after my vacation in libertarian paradise Somalia.

Trump's campaign has never been a positive one. It's been all about exploiting anger and frustration (among other negative emotions.)

Worked for Nixon.
