This offseason, he's Cyber Dusted on a plethora of political topics. Donald Trump, the GOP debate, Ted Cruz. He was even the President of the United States in this summer's "Sharknado 3."

Today he sent his followers this blast on the Republican Party.

I am so ready for the Mavs season to start. Until then the sport of the day is politics. Today's game is trashing the Republican Party

I would prefer to be a Republican. I want smaller government. I want smarter government. Just like most Republicans

Put aside that I disagree with Republicans on most social issues. The Republicans have a much bigger problem that will crush them in every Presidential election until this changes.

The Republican Party requires that all their Presidential candidates Conform to Consensus.

If you don't agree with every platform of the party not only are you called a RINO, a "Republican in Name Only. You are considered unelectable in primaries and become a source of scorn on Fox News

That's a problem.

Leaders don't conform to the consensus. They create consensus to their vision and goals.

Leaders don't change their positions mid debate. They welcome scorn from the masses because it creates the opportunity for dialogue.

Leaders don't look backwards to condemn what has already been done, they look forward to create a better future.

Leaders are not dogmatic. They are principled and know that change is never easy, but when it's necessary, they must lead.

The Republican Party does everything possible to discourage leadership.

They want dogma.

They want conformity.

They want to conserve their romanticized past.

That's a shame. I wish they wanted to conserve the best of what America is today and find a leader that can take us to new places that make our future better.

I realize that's not the way politics work in this day and age. And that just proves the point.

And btw, I know a lot of the same can be said about the democrats, but I don't want to be a democrat.

Until things change, I'll sit in the middle and think for myself. Unlike the Republicans
