Well, if you picture the two political parties as large ships, I imagine that they are trying to redirect their ship elsewhere. Unfortunately they (being the young Republicans) are not in charge of the ship, the older, upper echelon of Republicans are. I think they find more value in righting the ship than in starting one of their own, or trying to join a new ship with entirely different views (the SS Democrat). Do I agree with their views? No, but I'd much rather discuss and compromise with this young group of Republicans than I would with their predecessors.
