You are either an outright liar or an incredible fool. Who was the last president to run a truly conservative campaign? Maybe you don’t remember Reagan. But he seemed to pick up a little more than 2% of the popular vote.

And actually, I’d you had any idea of the modern political landscape, you would understand that Obama won by energizing his base. And as much as you may want to say he lied, Obama has been pretty open to stating his progressive agenda. He lies and obfuscates from a policy and operations standpoint, but his leftist goals are there for everyone to see.

The failed theory of the middle ground is trapping the GOP in history. Your base is what wins elections, not the mushy middle. Reagan poached an entire nation from progressive Democrats by giving middle America a vision that it could support.

The GOP is squandering the greatest opportunity it has ever had. Why? They would rather maintain the status quo and keep party control out of conservative hands. You obviously support that agenda 100%.

Are you capable of reading, or can you only manage to hurl insults? Nextrush defined conservatives as 5% of the Republican Party, I only extrapolated his figure into the larger political class. Reagan would not have fit into that cohort, by the way.

“I’d you had any idea” I certainly have no idea of what you were trying to say here.
