The honorable/pragmatic/intrepid/courageous/visionaries…they go first and opportunists can rub shoulders with heroes, profiteers with profiles in courage…weasels with lions**

There are few Republicons who possess balls, conviction, and patriotism, all of which would be required to start a new conservative party. Not going to happen anytime soon.
