Yep....”It’s the candidates, stupid!”
Look to the Indianapolis Colts for inspiration.......the GOP right now is where the Colts were at the end of last year. But what did they do, they overhauled the team, kicked out the old deadwood and brought in youth, and now look where they are.....the GOP needs to take the same approach, we need to get young....and we need leadership that is willing to get out of the traditional GOP comfort zone and go into places where the old guard feared to tread....and it can be done without abandoning our core principles. The vast majority of the electorate don’t want a one-party state, they want a real choice, and right now the GOP isn’t giving it to them because of the lousy product they’re putting out there in terms of their candidates.
“Remember, it was his political team that jumped to the McCain camp and immediately started torpedoing Palin from within. It was Romney’s dirty work done by his minions, but it ended up keeping Palin out of his way in 2012.”
Actually, I thought that the main culprit was that turd Steve Schmidt, and he never worked from Romney.
There were multiple culprits with multiple agendas, but Romney guys were clearly fingered at the time.
Do we know that Romney himself told them to stab Sarah in the back? I have suspected that their move to McCain was genuine because they were opportunists, and John was the winner of the primary. They then backstabbed Sarah because they felt they were going to lose, and they wanted to cover their sorry a$$es. At least that’s my theory on the matter.
The Romney guys who moved to McCain were going to get paid at most for a couple of months by McCain, whereas Romney was their big, continuing gravy train for the next four years.
We had multiple contemporaneous press reports that badmouthing to the press was coming from Romney guys, though clearly there were also some non-Romney guys with their own separate agendas.
But in the face of government schools indoctrinating kids to be socialists, the best candidates won't matter, and running on values that the young voters have been indoctrinated to reject won't work.
If we are worried about elections, we are at the wrong end of the flood, worrying about what to do after the dam has burst.
The left is replacing the electorate with indoctrinated kids and imported welfare recipients and socialists. Who we run or how we campaign will make little difference shortly.
Exactly, iacovatx. Narrowing the representation would make the representative much more beholden to the individual electors.
How do we do this? Not sure. Still studying the notion.
