I agree - but times have changed and society has become more perverted with them. Reagan would have a tough row to hoe these days and would not be able to sweep the country. Like it or not, we need to take steps to mitigate the damage and start taking steps to rectify things because any sweeping changes will be met with so much howling about how it would hurt too many people that they would be pretty much doomed.
You’re correct.
But it isn’t going to be done with someone who adopts the Democrats positions on cultural, fiscal, and economic issues.
We tried that already with McCain and Romney.
I’m not saying that a Cruz would beat Her. It’s going to be a tough ride for any GOP candidate to win the WH. And the possiblity of a Trump and Cruz losing exists
Last week, Jim Robinson posted a list of about 25 stances that Trump has taken - then asked how folks could keep calling him a liberal. He's a realist and it will take a realist to make any progress even if it means a few compromises. Compromises suck but not as much as the full-scale roll-over and capitulation we've had with Bush's "Compassionate Conservatism" and Obama's reign of terror. I'm willing to accept 26 inches out of each yard if it means we make some conservative progress. Demanding the full 36 inches will result in almost no gains.
Like it or not, Trump is the only chance at this point. If he comes to the convention with a clear plurality of delegates, the party can’t deny him the nomination without infuriating a good 10-20 percent of the base, who would stay home or vote third party or write him in anyway come November.
