It seems evident that the Tea Party faction- or whatever they wish to call themselves- that has taken over the Republican party has become strong and pervasive enough that they ARE the Republicans. It appears that very few Repubs are willing to stand up and fight to bring the party back into sanity. It is true that GOP Representative Peter King (of all people!) said as recently as yesterday that the "Crazies have taken over the party" but I don't see any others standing up and applauding.

So. Let's call the GOP the third party. Let Trump, Rubio, Fiorino, Cruz and whoever else run their campaigns under the third party banner, while saner heads and voices embrace, promote and publicise Second Party Opposition.

Let the education begin!
