Where Preibus and Romney need to tighten things up is the definition of who meets the brand standards. It's pretty loose these days
Exhibit A: Mitt Romney.
Out of the 16 candidates I examined closely, only 3 had been lifelong conservative Republicans. All the rest had recent, or questionable ties to the Republican party.
Yeah! We need to make sure there are no more so-called 'converts' to the Republican brand! God forbid we nominate a 'convert' to the GOP like Ronald Reagan...
We have millions of Republican voters who were taught as chillun' that they needed to vote Democrat.
My comment is not directed at those people AND YOU KNOW IT!
We no longer need, nor have much room for RINOs who claim to be Republican but then do the old reacharound with the Democrat professionals, or who were Democrat professionals ~ they simply are not needed.
At some point you go with what you got and quit taking in strays, or feating Quislings.
Our primaries must be closed in both ways. The voters must be Republicans, and the candidates must be Republicans of unimpeachable character, reputation and history.
