Conservatives/Republicans need to model something along the lines of the Communist organization that pushed AOC to the forefront. Run it like an American Idol contest, have thousands of contestants/wannabe public servants apply, then use the organization to advance people OVER the usual people who are in charge of “dues collecting”. There have to be millions of eligible voters who can serve as better servants than any “degreed” graduate of Hahvahd or Yail.
We’ll pick up Alabama if we don’t screw up again. Then there’s those that we must goto bat for even if they are Cantorized. Plenty of time? That’s B.S. The challengers either have the balls or they don’t. I’m betting they don’t. You’re right. We’ll lose Colorado and Az. You can see it from far away just like Jeb losing to Hillary.
