“And YOUR brilliant battle plan is _________ ?”
Lol, first, don’t listen to Trump and the talking heads. They have their own agenda, and that agenda is not to help your political party or politicians succeed in winning elections. They create an alternate universe to milk their viewers/listeners of their time so that they can sell that to their advertisers.
Second, actually try to win over voters by nominating a genuine conservative... parading an unlikable, stiff, and flip-floppin’ moderate as the leader is not going to help.
Most importantly, do not think of Republican party as your tribal hangout just because the Democratic party has become a tribal party. The problem is that the tribals (Hispanics, blacks, minorities in general) going to the Democratic party are outnumbering the tribals (white males) of the Republican party. I think it is time to make Republican party a party of conservationism, American individualism, self-determinism regardless of race, ethnicity, and religious persuasion.
