I agree. It’s easy to get sucked into the moment, dwell on things that are going wrong and then buy into the ‘sky is falling’. Truth is, this is exactly how the system is designed to work and its unsightliness is a large part of the secret of its success. When all is said and done we’ll come out the other end of the process with a nominee, and even more important to remember whoever it ends up being they will be better for America and our party than the alternative.
We’ve simply waited too long in this cycle to make our importance to the process weigh heavily on the powers that be in the GOP. If we are going to use their dependence on the conservative wing of the party as a bargaining tool then we’ll have to start the day after this election. We’ve got to find a way to make ourselves a thorn in their flesh on a daily basis, not a few months every four years.
Look at how little we did the last 10 plus years to make our unhappiness with their hijacking of the conservative name and cause. We gave them what they said they need, Congress and the White House, and then we went back to making a living and doing the things that make us conservatives. Meanwhile the spending went wild, etc.
I say let’s get through this one and then we can turn our attention to making sure they know we’re around for the next four years, and that we’re watching!
