we need to organize as a party within the party
I agree.
This is what hurts most, when I see conservatives get angry and then do what the LEFT wants:
The left wants us to destroy the Republican Party!
Instead, I want Conservatives to take control of the Republican Party.
For one thing, the experience of taking over the GOP is GREAT “boot camp” training for winning in November General Elections.
For another, it is far, far easier to take over a smaller group, the GOP, than it is to take over the entire country, all at once.
