DeMint also added during his interview with pastor Bryan Fischer that Republicans cannot cooperate or compromise with Democrats on any level because Democrats are bent on instituting socialism. “I think it's our last chance. I really think it's now or never. Just looking at the financial situation of our country and just the polarization of views between the two parties. I mean, we have one that is really pushing toward centralization, collectivization, secularism — and we have some good people in that party,” DeMint said promptly before throwing his toys out of the pram.—-
