I’m not a Republican—you’ve sussed that out, haven’t you?
A civic republican, yes, but GOPper? Nope.
Still, as much as I’m not a GOPper, I nonetheless believe that the US’s 2-party democracy needs two functional parties—that is, two parties prepared to govern—and that the Republican Party’s descent into madness is bad for us all.
Thus, as much as I’m not a Republican, I’m very glad that there are Republicans who are unwilling to leave their party to the nutters.
So, yea to North Dakota Rep. Kathy Hawken, R-Fargo:
Have you ever considered switching parties or a third-party option?
Have I thought about it? Yeah, I have. But there are reasons that I am a Republican. When somebody tells me I’m not really a Republican, I say, “I really think I am. I’m not sure you are. I’m not sure how you define what it means to be a Republican.”
