Breitbart News has the scoop:
In a panel discussion at the University of Colorado after the recent Republican debate, I was asked by a student why she should be a Republican. The question forced me to ask myself the same thing.
I gave the young woman the standard talking points–that Republicans believe in smaller government, individual rights, fiscal responsibility, and free enterprise. But as I drove home, her question–and my inability to respond with any level of real conviction–got me thinking: Does the Republican Party leadership fight for these values and principles today?
After much thought, I reluctantly concluded that the answer is “no.” The proudly socialist Democrats are full of passionate intensity, while the Republican leadership is full of pathetic excuses. After this week’s House GOP “budget deal,” which betrays nearly every promise made to grassroots conservatives since 2010, I have decided it is time to end my affiliation with the Republican Party.
Former GOP Representative and professional PITA Tom Tancredo says that Republicans no longer stand for those things he believes in – so he’s going to turn independent and spend his time stumping for Republican Presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz, “the only candidate who both understands the left’s agenda and has demonstrated the courage to fight for our liberties, our sovereignty, and the survival of constitutional government.”

Breitbart is usually my last choice for accurate news and information, but considering the subject matter, I gave it a bit more credence.
The GOP is probably thinking "how long will it last this time?"
What proudly socialist Democrats? I mean besides Bernie.The Democrats have been the party of the center right since Clinton.
