DeMint had to work outside of the system. Washington Republicans are so unreliable and are working with the Dems he couldn’t advance his agenda.
“DeMint had to work outside of the system. Washington Republicans are so unreliable and are working with the Dems he couldn’t advance his agenda.”
You are so right about that. I would encourage you (if you haven’t done so already) to read his 2011 book “The Great Awakening: Two Years That Changed America, Washington and Me”.
You can probably find it at your local library or get it cheap from Amazon.com. This book really opened my eyes to the fact that we need real change in DC - not just by getting rid of the Democrats but by getting rid of Republicans who talk out of both sides of their mouth.
My only regret is that DeMint didn’t mention by name the Republicans who either obstructed him or disregarded his ideas whenever he brought them forth. Although we can easily speculate as to who these Republicans were McConnell, Graham, etc), DeMint needed to call out these so-called Republicans.
