Was talking to a fellow Republican co-worker this morning about the loss. Question I asked him was, "What GOP candidate since Reagan has even tried to make the argument in favor of conservatism?"

Answer: None of them.

Are you referring the Republican fields of candidates competing in primaries, or only those who made it as the Party nominee to the general election? Because the former offered several true conservatives, the latter, not so much.

I was referring to the eventual nominee. To be sure, several candidates this time in the primary advanced a conservative agenda, but Romney ended up slandering all of them, so we ended up with the Massachusetts moderate.
