Conservatives have failed the country for the last 10 years at least. They have accomplished absolutely nothing. Conservatives are stuck in their heads where it is safe. The conservative brand is totally ineffective and has created no results.
You can criticize Trump fair enough.
But you have to criticize conservatives just as tough because they are a total failure in their approach! Conservatives better change their approach or we will get 10 more year of failure.
Perhaps you can point out where, in the past 50 years where we (that's voters like you and me) have elected a *majority* of conservatives in either house of congress? Or are you asserting the likes of Boehner, McConnell, McCain, Graham and their RINO ilk are "conservatives" (utterly laughable)? Or maybe you can point to any point in recent history where conservatives have had the numbers in congress to do anything more than filibuster (which Cruz *HAS* done)? Further, if conservatives were anywhere near the majority of the political right as you are asserting, then I seriously doubt we would continue to have the likes of Boehner, McConnell, McCain, Graham, etc *inflicted* upon us term after term after term. If that is *not* what you are asserting, please explain how you think a small minority of conservatives on the political right in congress have *any* control over congressional procedure and pushing legislation out of committee, other than to filibuster (again, which Cruz *HAS* done)?
Conservatives are, for now, a rather small minority within the political right. I *hope* conservatism is catching fire, but it certainly does not appear to be doing so in this election season. We still have much work to do to grow conservatism. Hence: Instead of the govt we need, we will continue to be stuck with the govt we deserve for awhile longer - perhaps generations.
So, what have *YOU* done to promote and advance conservatism and/or push conservative candidates into office? Here's a hint: pimping Donald "The Govt's Going To Pay For It" Trump is decidedly nowhere near conservative. If your complaint is that a *minority* of conservatives "can't control congress", then look in the mirror and consider the type of candidates you support is perhaps a YUUUUUGE part of the problem that is keeping conservatives in the minority.
