Liz, did you hear Mark Steyn's rant on Rush yesterday? It's stuff we all knew, but he really put it down clearly.

We (including many here on FR and tons of Tweeting GOPe types) are apoplectic about "who is conservative enough." (Of course, this mainly means Trump). While we fight over "who'se conservative enough," the Left has almost pushed us off the field. As Steyn says we're fighting over a "pathetic patch of grass" on the one yard line.

We "conservatives" put in a GOP House. Nothing changed. We put in a GOP House and Senate. Nothing changed. With them, as Steyn noted, it's always an excuse. "Well, we have the House, but not the Senate." "Well, we have the House and Senate but not the Presidency." "Well, we have the House and Senate and Presidency, but not the Supreme Court." and on and on.

What people ARE getting with Trump is a man of action. We might not agree with every action he would take, but we darn sure would not hear excuses for why things "can't get done." I think the Wall is the clearest, most symbolic of all these actions. For 10 years we haven't built a damn wall. How tough is this really? It's funded.

While you are right that the 2010 and 2014 mid-terms were massive rejections of liberals and liberalism, the coming election will be a massive rejection of words and sentiments and ideology over actually accomplishing something.
