His staff can keep him active long after his brain is flat lined. His staff is owned lock stock and barrel by the McConnell crony capitalism crowd.
I think it is coming up to the time when the Tea Party must abandon the GOP and look to infiltrating the other side.
It may be time to go into these primaries and run "Reagan Democrats" (i.e., Patriotic Middle Class people) and getting our people in that way.
Surely both parties hate the Tea Party and all that we stand for, i.e, limited constitutional government), so why put all our eggs in one basket?
The Republican party is not our political savior. We are going to have to save this Republic on our own.
Start putting Reagan Republicans in the Democrat primaries. A lot of Republicans are in such red districts that they don't even have democrat opponents. And then they vote for the crony capitalist programs like Boehner and McConnell lackies.
It is time to sever the Tea Party ties to the Republican party. They don't want us, so let's give them what they want.
You make reasoned arguments.
Here's another thing, conservatives are actually one of the largest voting blocs in America. Social conservatives make up a large percentage of that conservative voting bloc, and a huge number of those are the Reagan Democrats --> Republicans.
It has long been said that Black Christians and Hispanic Christians, large proportions of those blocs, have more in line with the values of social conservatives than they do with progressive liberals. They believe in God, they desire strong families, and they want jobs. Many of them are pro-life.
It would be interesting to see what happened when old blue-collar Reagan democrats reunited with values concerned Christian democrats. Something might just get started.
That would be a large coalition.
