How do we educate the un-educatable? The 18-30 year old indoctrinated? Get single white women to think and vote like single white men? How do we get millions on food stamps, free child care, free schooling and free school lunches, free head start, and free housing, and free this and that vote for conservative positions? Our Republic was founded on values bestowed by western civilization and culture and so how do we get a tsumani of immigrants with cultures, rituals, and beliefs diametrically at odds with our own vote for conservative values? Finally, how do we get the mass of the historical plantation class vote conservative values? Since values are shaped by Hollywood, TV, and the mass media, how do conservatives compete against this multi-billion dollar propaganda machine?

With the record like Obama’s even a fool like McCain should have been able to defeat him in 2012. But we lost. The big states appear permanently colored blue. Only TX is standing and may be not for long.

Does anyone have a workable and realistic idea?

I suspect you may as well ask, "Who is John Galt?"

You've identified the problem. We can't out-freebie the 'Rats. They are just too good at it and the 'Pub candidates who try are playing a fool's game. We have now two and three generations of voters out there who are inured to the entitlement mentality. They think government exists to give them things. They have no idea of what the Founders believed the purpose of government was. I don't think there are many school children out there today who have even read the Declaration. The words "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men,..." are utterly foreign to them.

I am afraid that I am coming around to the viewpoint that the only way to change it is to let it collapse of it's own weight and then try to rebuild the Republic in the image that the Founders made. Unfortunately, getting there will involve a lot of pain and suffering, but we've walked that road before.
