“We can then work toward stiffening the knees and straightening the spines of wobbly Republicans.”
This is a lullaby that we have outgrown.
So what’s your plan? It’s not enough to just complain about it, you have to do something about it. Politicians can turn on a dime when the pressure is applied and they see that their cushy little arrangement will no longer be supported.
What they can’t see, however, is when the disgruntled disengage, don’t vote and don’t build a power base that can get something done. Waiting for the conservative tooth fairy to show up is going to be very disappointing.
