We will not be allowed to vote our way out of this.
Look at the previous two election cycles. McCain was as popular as poison ivy in June 2007 after pushing amnesty TWICE and had no money. Yet he had the nomination sewn up by March.
Romney was the author of the precursor of the hated Obamacare and had taken all positions on all issues at one time or another and was less popular than McCain. Yet again, by March of 2012, he’s the nominee.
They have the calendar rigged so red states have virtually no say until it’s too late. Elsewhere they have purposefully open primaries. The rules have been tweaked to smooth out the bumps Romney experienced on the way to his nomination. The GOP exists to block conservatives, not represent them.
The last 4 Presidential elections have been amnesty D vs amnesty R.
I don’t think we have a ghost of a chance of nominating a GOP candidate that isn’t a cheap labor importer.
The RNC has already been paid for an amnesty candidate.
We have to think outside the box the parties have put us in.
We will not be allowed to vote our way out of this.
At least, not in the normal sense. Article V imperative?
Folks can criticize it, but what other than the obvious is left?
“They have the calendar rigged so red states have virtually no say until it’s too late.”
A bit of info: Each state determines when to have their primary date in a federal election year. The federal government can’t dictate exactly when that will be. Both parties have to complete their primary in order to send delegates to their state and national convention so they have the primary date with enough time left to organize their state convention, have that, and then organize their state delegates for the national convention.

The fix is in.
We can vote our way out of this.
But only if we do it from the rooftops.
