A year ago at this time TheBlaze contributor Matt Walshwrote a column detailing why he was leaving the Republican party. Walsh said the GOP was "dying, had self-inflicted wounds and no desire to live". Nearly a year later he says he feels better and better about his decision to leave.

He joined Dana Loesch on today's "Dana" to affirm his thoughts, stating he doesn't know why the Republican party exists now. He gave as evidence the budget the Party just agreed to, stating it would look no different if Hillary Clinton had secured victory for the Democrats in November.
