The problem with putting a true conservative in is nothing will get done. To get what you want, you would need 60 Republican votes in the Senate to approve anything. At best, we can hope to get the majority in the Senate, but 60 is a little out of reach. A true conservative would also have more trouble winning the general election. You have to look at this more strategically. #1 priority is to replace Obama. To beat Obama, you’ll need to win back the Independents. The further you are to the right, the less chance you have. It might align with what you want, but you have to be happy getting some of what you want - most importantly replacing Obama.
What would you have done in 1775?
Worked with the Tories or with the Patriots?
Would you have said we can’t beat the British it is better to work with the Tories...etc???
Guess what it is 1775 ALL OVER AGAIN!
