The parasite is almost completely done consuming its host.

I fail to understand why long time GOP party members continue to be members. More and more we see notable breaks as this one or that announces they have left the Republican Party.

Many that remain, however, are not in the thrall of TFG. Why do they stay? Do they think somehow the FUCKING CRAZIES who are the new base will relinquish their death grip on the party's soul?

NO!

The CRAZIES are parasites. And they are almost done sucking the blood out of the GOP soul.

Why do they stay? Why is MD governor Hogan still a member?

Or Vermont's Phill Scott still a member?

These are just two examples.

Why do they stay?
