Wayne Wallace: Republicans appear to be lacking any leadership

In the last few weeks I have seen a very strong Republican Party disappear. My problem with that is the leaders of the party do not seem able to do anything about it. Today, not one, but two candidates running for the Republican presidential nomination have said they would leave the party and run a separate campaign if not nominated.

If I were a Republican, I would immediately change my party to Independent or another political party. You too can leave the party.

The Democrats have saved the Republicans for the last 33 years, but this time I feel the line has been crossed. Sorry.

Wayne Wallace, Atwater
