Origins: Whig, Free Soil Party
Date: 1854-

The Grand Old Party, is, and possibly will be, in tumult, until the realignment of the Party policies are done.
To date, the Party has lost major hold on the American voters, whom seem to have shed some of the old views of the country ideals. The GOP, unfortunately, is failing to remind itself on major issues that it could be more proactive and relent on some.
The Party, is failing in its current stance. Why? Because it is losing its current power structures. And that is good.
Yes, you heard me, I am happy the current leadership is slowly crumbling. It isn't too hard to see that very different leaders are emerging and they see it as an opportunity to make the party better. And fortunately, I see that change occurring in many of my contemporaries. The Party, is, and was, hijacked by a group of neo-conservatives, who are far too reactionary to see that their policies are only burning the Party to the ground.
As a man who has studied political science and lived through some very unique arguments as a Republican/Conservative prior to coming out, I held my own with my more liberal friends and colleagues. Yet, there is something to be said. The Party has made relatively only a few shifts in the history of the Party, that once founded itself upon individualism and giving the people the capabilities to succeed.
The Party needs to change and amend some of its high valued stances and some of which are very hard to discuss. The majority of the issues are social and some fiscal issues, but without a unique perspective and a way to understand how to make these changes work, the Party will continue to fall slowly into the fire that consumed its hijacking from the Far Right-Wing of the Republican base.
I am a man. I am gay. I am a Conservative. And the Party needs to address the issues that will not only secure the voters in the long term, but ensure the Party's continual existence and to readdress its original values and to stand firm and be the beacon that made me agree with the Republican Party.
While it is possible that my party could fail, I am ready, and willing to launch a revised form of our party if it implodes--as many of my liberal colleagues have insisted that it would occur soon (some indicated that its implosion and ultimate fall was a few years ago) and that, I being a gay man, could not follow the Republican Party solely on that issue. To that, I say you have ultimately failed to see the reality of individualism and have tried to pioneer a collectivist vision that rests on an idealistic viewpoint that you can make others do what you want.
My final conclusion on the Party is that it is drawing to a fork in the road, one in which it needs to be prepared to make a choice to fail or succeed. And even with success, it will also need to make changes for the better and for the people, it was so desperately created for back in 1854. And should it fail, I shall call upon all of my friends and colleagues who believe in the Conservative views and help rebuild our Party into a New Conservative Party.

"There’s no one reason we lost. Our message was weak; our ground game was insufficient; we weren’t inclusive; we were behind in both data and digital; and our primary and debate process needed improvement."
-- National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus
