If the Republic Party shuts itself down and then comes back under another name, it's that essentially putting the same old rocks in a new bucket? I think the 2-party system is the source of our problems, not the solution.

The Republican Party hasn't represented conservatives for a long time. It represents its elites, who are progressives with more in common with Hillary Clinton than the average American. It should remain to represent its members. Those of us who prefer something else should start voting 3rd party. There are plenty of choose from. I'm voting http://reason.com/blog/2016/06/09/johnson-rising-libertarian-party-candida because I am unwilling to wait for former GOP "leadership" to tell me who I may vote for. I can figure that out for myself.

Can't you?

A healthy multi-party system would give voters an opportunity to vote for candidates who actually represent them. The Libertarian Party  1.5% in 2012) is now polling at 12%. All they need is votes. No Hillary or Trump!
