RE :”“From an election perspective, it keeps happening,” Levin said. “The Republican establishment picks off conservatives.”
To prevent this from happening during the presidential primaries, Levin called on conservatives to rally behind one or two candidates who are “articulate, intelligent, charismatic.”Once that occurs, he said, the grassroots should rally behind those candidates.
“I can’t stand another election where I turn on the TV somewhere and am told the only one who can win is [Sen. John] McCain and the only one who can win is [Mitt] Romney.”

It sounds so simple Mark as do all your plans, except I don't remember you doing that in 2011 and 2012.
Maybe because there were none.

Maybe cause you knew that neither Newt, Rick, nor Michelle were getting that nomination, much less anywhere near the WH.

To beat the establishment candidate we need an alternative with a WINNING record.

That ruled out those three.

Mark, Reagan had a real record when he ran in 1980.

Based on some of his Senate endorsements I must have a different definition of “conservative” than Mark. Liz Cheney? LOL.

Not to mention a different definition of “articulate, intelligent, and charismatic.” Mark Bevin? Milton Wolf?

Bingo.

Yep, and Reagan had a winning personality as well. You just had to like him. Folks like Santorum lose on both counts. No winning record and no personality.

>> Mark, Reagan had a real record when he ran in 1980. <<

If Reagan ran today, I think Levin and most of his worshippers would be calling Reagan "a senile old RINO career politician from California who had his chance in 1976 and blew it". They'd all demand we "get behind" Ben Fernandez for President, who is a "businessman from the private sector and not a professional politician like California RINO Ronnie" Anyone who questioned whether Fenandez was the "true conservative" in the race or the Tea Party savior would be attacked by a choir of "GOPE! GOPE! GOPE! GOPE! GOPE!! GOPE!!"

Q: "How is Reagan a 'RINO' when he ran against Ford's liberal record and backed Goldwater long before it was popular to embrace conservative values?

A: "You support the old geezer ESTABLISHMENT RINO Ronnie instead of TEA PARTY Ben Fenandez?! Why do you hate America? GOPE! GOPE! GOPE! GOPE! GOPE! GOPE! GOPE! GOPE!
