I have been a registered Republican my entire voting life and never voted for a Democrat for president until Donald Trump was nominated.

I was raised believing in Republican principals, most I believed in, some I did not.

I believe the Republican Party is now led by cowards and fakes who espouse ideas and beliefs only for the purpose of being elected and the Party has devolved into a Party controlled by a minority of “leaders” and "members" with beliefs and ideas that in no way reflect the Republican Party I believe in.

It has pained me to watch over the last years as people I respect and who I believe represented the Republican Party give up and leave the Party. I understand it but will never agree with it.

I believe the soul of the Republican Party still exists and can be resurrected and revived. That those that have been, and those that continue today, to do everything to destroy the Party from within can be called out and identified for what they truly represent.

I believe we, as Real Republicans, as I define a Real Republican and maybe as you do as well, can muster the courage to call out the phonies and fakes for what they are and more importantly develop the ways and means necessary to bring the Party back to its roots with real representatives committed to this Country and its people and all of those things the Country was founded upon and not some mythical conspiracy theory. The Republican Party can come back to where it once was and we can all feel good about participating and being a member of the Party again.
