“Reluctantly agree. But a vote for Mitt is a vote not to fix the party.”
I 100% agree, likewise a vote for BO is not a vote to fix the party.
Voting in the Presidential election isn’t the time or place to “fix” the party. Getting involved in local and state level GOP is the way to fix it. Get conservatives in positions of power within the GOP so that 2016 and 2020 we have a chance to influence the candidates.
Until then we can only hope to put good conservatives in positions where they can have a positive influence. The Cabinet, Senate, House, Supreme Court and so on.
It all has to be happening at once. You describe what needs to be done on one end, bottom up. At the same time the leaders have to go as well at the top, or they will do what they did this time, the last two years. There needs to be a pincer move at both the bottom and the top at the same time. Otherwise rinos will push for who they want, they control money,assignments in congress, etc.
