(55,981 posts)Some think that the war is between Republicans and Democrats. This is the easy rationalization. Easy to tell the good guys from the bad guys. These sadly naive Democrats will welcome Crist thinking that it shows that the Democrats are winning. They openly call for the death of the REpublican Party thinking that if the party dies then their right-wing ideology will also die. Really? REALLY? I guess they are seeking Democrat Heaven where everyone is a happy Democrat and they can go back to watching American Idol.
I hate to break their warm reality bubbles but the war is not between Democrats and Republicans. Those that wish to gain wealth and power are smart enough to understand that if there is no Republican Party to carry their water................they will just have to buy the Democratic Party.
Someone above said that maybe Crist had an epiphany. I assume meaning that he changed his ideology. I believe he, like lots of other Republicans abandoning a party sinking into fascism, that he could promote his ideology via the DEmocratic Party.
Would those here that welcome Crist and other right-wingers into the Democratic Party also welcome Jeb Bush should he make the same decision?
