Yeah, but it's more fun for Conservatives to focus on the shortcomings of Democrats.

Who are these "conservatives" you speak of? I see none.

Bill Kristol isn't a conservative?

I think Bill is a conservative.

My poorly made point is that almost all true conservatives have left the Republican party and there is very little about the current Republican party that is conservative.

Very, very true, but they keep calling themselves "conservative." Coming up with confidence labels on a message board is tough. :)

No they haven't. Hogan, Romney, Ryan, and many others still are a part of the GOP and identify as Republican.

Name a GOP who shifted to Independent. None.

Right. Humpty Dumpty did say, "Words mean what I pay them to mean, nothing more and nothing less."

I don't believe Conservative is the correct term, anymore. It's right-wing as Trump has been extreme in his law-breaking (in spite of the aid SCOTUS judges & the slate of Republicans provide), hunger for power, and enrichment of the elite & harm to the masses.

They call themselves just or ethical...that doesn't mean they are.
