Conservatives won’t win elections by refusing to fight for what’s right.
Should rephrase that as: “Liberals won’t win elections unless....etc”
Ain't happening.

Do dumbocrats compromise?....Frick no they don’t.
Democrat compromise: We’ll do it exactly our way but we’ll delay it for 6 months.
Republican compromise: Well fight you for 6 months then give up and do it your way.
Compromising from a POSITION OF STRENGTH makes sense. We build the fence, get rid of welfare, education, and health care for Illegals - but maybe save deportations until a later day.
That is how you work from a position of strength. You don’t give the president the ONLY THING he wants, which is AMNESTY, and then hopes he does the things you want, because he won’t, and it wouldn’t even help much if he did, given all the new Democrats that would soon be voting.
We’ll compromise, when it advances our cause - and that’s about it.
Nobody has ever said never to compromise. It’s a typical Washington straw man. What we advocate is not to sellout to the other side. That’s not compromise. It’s surrender.
If conservatives “compromise” on immigration “reform,” conservatives will never have to “compromise” on anything else ever again.
Depends on the compromise and some issues are quite simply off limits.
Compromise with the left is like agreeing to only half a turd in the punch bowl.
Conservatives tend to win elections. They also tend to be pragmatic enough to know when to compromise when they govern. RINOs just surrender. Knowing when to compromise isn’t a conservative problem.
And the moral of the story is . . .
RINOs make good sacrificial lambs. They won’t fight and they stay out in the open. Use them to distract the Libs, and then go in for the kill. . .
I respect Dr. Carson. He’s a good man but this is not the person who should be anywhere near running for elected office. He sounds like another in the long line of “let’s get along to get along” kind of people and that’s not getting us anywhere. We need to flush the entire political process of liberals and RINOS. Dr. Carson, please do not give up being the skilled surgeon you are to run for political office. You will be slimed and destroyed by all sides and frankly you’re way too good a human being to deserve that.
Carson is a brilliant man, but reading this makes it seem as if he only started paying attention to politics since the last election. He doesn’t appear to understand the conservative rage that’s been building for years.
Decades and decades of compromise and grand bargains have brought
this country to the brink.
All I have to say is : BULL sh#T
I need to look at the individual candidate to know what I can accept from him.
There are candidates who aren’t totally in line but that we respect and can grudgingly support, or accept as the best we can do to advance the cause when they are the nominee, but there are also those who disagree on some key issues that we sense are much worse than just their stated positions, people with a hidden agenda, people who are really against us, when I see one of those I won’t vote for him.
wrong.
conservatives won’t win elections if they keep caving in to the left on core beliefs.
the only way we reverse liberalism is by having them cave in our direction.
enough giving ground.
you want to do this, we did already. it’s called mccain.
