From Fox New:
Evangelist Franklin Graham announced Tuesday he is leaving the Republican Party over the GOP-led spending bill passed last week, calling it “wasteful” and likening funding of Planned Parenthood to Nazi concentration camps.
“Shame on the Republicans and the Democrats for passing such a wasteful spending bill last week,” he said. “And to top it off, funding Planned Parenthood!”
Graham, who had previously slammed both political parties, let his frustration flow on a Facebook posting.
Graham, who has supported GOP White House hopeful Donald Trump as well as embraced his controversial call to ban Muslims from the U.S., said he’s lost faith in the political system.
“I have no hope in the Republican Party, the Democratic Party, or Tea Party to do what is best for America,” he wrote. “Unless more godly men and women get in this process and change this wicked system, our country is in for trouble.”

There are many people who support certain GOP presidential candidates for president but they don't support the GOP establishment who are led by Mitch McConnell, Karl Rove, Paul Ryan/John Boehner and the head of the GOP, Reince Priebus.
Sadly, 2 of these clowns are from my home state of Wisconsin- Ryan and Priebus and us conservatives are not proud of them.
So, Graham may leave the GOP but where else can he go? Certainly not the Democrats, so who does he turn to?
Maybe we need to get a 3rd party to challenge the GOP. Yes, it will cost conservatives in the short term but in the long term, maybe it will benefit a 3rd party or turn the GOP more conservative.
Time will tell.
