There’s so much wrong with this piece I hardly know where to start. So I’m not going to try to deal with it point by point. It’s too late at night and I’m tired.
Suffice it to say that it’s all theater. These people never lost control of anything, and the relationships between the “consultants” and what they call “powerful conservative activist groups” are as incestuous as it gets, so the whole premise of the piece is inherently flawed.
Both groups, which are really the same old group, will continue to garner all the power to themselves, and conservatives and conservatism will continue to be the losers.
As long as conservatives are willing to play their game, that is.
Waste your vote on Tom Hoefling, that will cure everything.
