Politico: Dylan Byers- 'David Brooks: Calls For GOP Split'

Source:Politico- NYT Columnist David Brooks. on NBC's Meet The Press, talking about the future of the Republican Party.
"It's probably futile to try to change current Republicans," he writes in today's paper. "It's smarter to build a new wing of the Republican Party, one that can compete in the Northeast, the mid-Atlantic states, in the upper Midwest and along the West Coast. It's smarter to build a new division that is different the way the Westin is different than the Sheraton."

From Politico

To put it simply: it's time for the stupid wing of the GOP ( the far-right in America ) to be replaced by a smart wing. Not replacing Conservatives with Moderates or Liberals, but replacing Christian-Nationalist, trapped in 1950s Ozzie and Harriet's America, with actual Conservatives and Conservative-Libertarians. 

People who when they say they believe in liberty and limited government, actually mean it because they are against Big Government across the board and see Big Government as the biggest threat to individual freedom in America. Unlike the Far-Right, that makes love with Big Government every night.
