I agree. The question is, how do we cause that to happen? The Republican Party will not do it without substantial pressure. I don't know the answer, or if there even is an answer, but I hope that there is a viable one.
I get out and talk to people; on FR and elsewhere. I let my Rep and Senators know what I think (not just by Email, but with letters and phone calls), and I vote (sometimes by leaving a ballot blank). Otherwise, like you, I dont know the answer.
One thing I do understand; Losing is a natural risk of free elections.
Otherwise, I try to prepare my House as best I can.
