A ninety-year-old acquaintance of mine told me the other day that he had voted in every presidential election since 1948, and that he had voted for the Republican candidate in every single one of those elections.  He said he can't bring himself to vote for Hillary Clinton, so he's leaving the presidential line blank.  He also said that the Republican Party, which he has supported for nearly seventy years (almost half of its existence), is finished.  He sees no way that it can survive what it has done to itself.

It's sad.  We need a conservative party in our nation, but we no longer have one.
