it is appropriate to stay with it, reform it and elect people who are conservative or at least vote mostly with conservatives.

Stay with it, how?

The GOP has control of Washington and the majority of states. What are they doing with it?

Agree it is not pretty. You have a politically inexperienced President who has the entire media in a state of chronic hostility, he has personally insulted four or five former Republican opponents who are Senators with vengeful hearts( not that they didn’t need insulting),and a very slim margin in the senate. The Judiciary is hostile. The Speaker of the House is no bulldog. Politicians are often petty and narcissistic. The Democrats are solidly leftist, socialist and cohesive with a firm hold on ~40% of the population. Its a messy process but at this junction the Republican Party dented and defective is still the best vehicle for decent conservative. If you abandon it out of a sense of pure ideals, you will concede power to the vile Democrats and the suffering will be immense. Politics has always been the art of the possible.

Bozzell is a good commentator, but he was a Never-Trumper. He was in the National Review issue saying that they would never vote for President Trump.

The states that went for Trump this time around need to follow Wisconsin’s lead! Governor Scott Walker is one to shadow! Yes, WHOEVER (Reince!) advised him that it was time for him to run for President was ill-advised, but he’s done a bang-up job in Wisconsin. Lots of LibTard posturing for the upcoming election, but there is no way they’re going to unseat Governor Walker - until he WANTS to leave. (He needs to be grooming an underling - like NOW!)

We’re kickin’ it! The new home and apartment construction I see all over our state are a testament to that and businesses are clamoring to come here.

Life is again, GOOD, in ‘Sconny! :)

Reminds me of this quote from Abraham Lincoln:

"If General McClellan isn't going to use his army, I'd like to borrow it for a time." (Commenting on General McClellan's lack of aggression, 1862)

The GOP control in TX is blocked by the “Republican” House Speaker, who votes mostly Democrat.
