Think about it.
Say we got a group of patriot politicians, why run them in the Republican Party?
The Republican Party has no media, no power inside the government with FBI or CIA. Bad reputation. Hollywood hates them. On and on we can go with how the Republicans are useless resistance.
But if we had Patriots inside the Democrat Party, and then flip the Democrat Party to be more conservative. Then we could have something.
The democrat party of today would lynch JFK.
So no, fuck them. There is NO upward mobility unless you are a leftist or a compromised scumbag.
Your suggestion is just fucking ludicrous. You get nowhere with them unless you are them. That's why moderates are an endangered species in the DNC.
