And who cares? Those who see voting as an obligation of good citizenship. Those who understand and practice the Buckley Rule.

But your expression of hope or your belief IS NOT A PLAN. Hope is not a plan.

The Republican Party could either:
1) Just hope that conservatives conform to what you are expressing, or
2) Actually provide candidates that the grassroots would get excited about giving up time with their family and hobbies to campaign for

One the GOP has control over: Fix itself. The other is just an empty hope.

So you sit there (not alone, at least) fervently hoping that millions of conservatives across the country will see it the way you do, will pound yard signs along highways, make phone calls, walk neighborhoods canvassing for candidates who insult their beliefs, etc., etc.

But that is just an empty hope, isn't it?

Now, if that's all you've got, you have to make the best of where you are.

But there is another alternative available: The GOP could stop breaking its promises, stop lying, stop betraying the grassroots.

The establishment faces a "Come to Jesus" moment of decision: Do they want to win elections by changing and reforming and reconciling with the grassroots they betrayed? Or do they want to whistle past the graveyard and PRETEND there isn't a problem?

I’ve presented my point of view, my personal philosophy of voting, that’s all. Whether you approve of it or not is your choice, I’m not looking for converts.

I’ve certainly offered no plan for the Republican Party to attract conservative voters or strategy for conservatives to influence the GOP. That seems to be your passion, and I’ll leave you to it.
