With fewer and fewer Americans willing to identify themselves as members of the Republican Party, it’s time to change the name, argues conservative Myra Adams. Instead of the Republican Party or the GOP, the political party should reflect its philosophy—conservatism—in its name.
A rebranding to the Conservative Party could take advantage of the fact that 40% of respondents to a recent Gallup Poll referred to themselves as “conservative.” Contrast that with the only 24.4% who say they’re Republicans.
Also, Adams argues that half of the 36% who say they’re moderates are likely to vote with the new Conservative Party. That would give the rebranded party 58% of the electorate.
