“Unfortunately many conservatives are of the mind set to ignore your wisdom and continue on a course of division that will elect Hillary”
Please clarify. Do you mean we shouldn’t hold our newly elected real conservatives’ feet to the fire—or that they should just suck it up and go along with bonehead and mcconnel?
He means get up and get busy - really busy, not just peck, peck on the keyboard busy. If you don’t know how to work a campaign, find out. If your precinct chairs are worthless, run against one of them.
The statement had more to do with the conservative masses than elected representatives.
The representatives will be encouraged to act to obtain the most conservative outcome possible. Politics is the art of the possible.
Regarding the national, the presidential race, there is tendency to demand a degree of conservative purity that is probably impossible to obtain in a national candidate. Ted Cruz is has wonderful conservative credentials but is lagging the field. There is a tendency to gut good conservatives like Scott Walker and Dr Ben Carson simply because they do not conform 100% with the idealized candidate.
Since there is not total conformance with the standard these candidates are bitterly attacked in attempt to promote the perfect candidate that is lagging.
Then, they abandon all because what is perceived as purity is lacking. Rather than play, they take their ball and go home sulking all the way
