(The "Autopsy" from the 2012 election, which led to the universal embrace of Amnesty by most GOP candidates other than Trump in 2016 - and was the reason establishment candidates were so resoundingly rejected by mainstream conservatives).
Other thoughts?
This link to the 2012 “autopsy” should work.
How to flip hamburgers?
I’m reminded of the scene in Independence Day where the prez asks what the aliens want from us.
The alien says something like “We want you to die.”
I want the GOP to go away, for the RINOs to merge with the Ds where they belong, and for a truly constitutional/conservative/America first party to arise.
What I HOPE they learn is the following:
“By fighting the enemy ON HIS TERMS, rather than saying “above the fray” is how you win.”
What they will instead CLAIM to learn is the following:
“Like or or not, Hate and Divisiveness is a winning formula, but it still wrong”
Even though they know the first is the REAL REASON for Trump’s huge margin of victory - they will still claim the second. No different than the way 2012’s ‘autopsy’ barely disguised the leadership’s push for all-out Amnesty.
The “leadership” will think that Super Delegates, like they have in the democrat party, are a great thing.
“People want less government.”
The GOPee will learn that most of America is their enemy and they need to double down on implementing Hussein’s K Street policies.
It isn’t over, and as of right now they have learned nothing.
State and local elections are going to be brutal against the eGOP.
They’ll learn what the center-left has been saying since the 80s: “America is ungovernable”
The social democrats in both parties profess democracy until the people resist the socialism.
Whatever the GOPe learns from the 2016 elections, it will probably be the wrong lesson, if past experience is any indicator.
This is a war and not a life’s lesson. There will be no graduates. There will be the victors and the vanquished. The are and the was.
When George Bush said he feared he would be the last Republican president everyone thought he was talking about the effect of Trump being the nominee. In my opinion that's not what he meant at all.
IMO, What he meant is that he fears the level of corruption is at the point where the election is irrelevant. Hillary will win as will all socialist/marxists from this point on. I think he believes his election for his second term was the last one where the actual vote of the people determined the winner.
I hope I'm wrong but I don't see how anything else can explain the actions of so many in our government that allowed Hillary to be cleared of any wrongdoing.
IMO, Bush knows the fix is in.
That a candidate needs to speak from the heart, says what they are thinking, and what they would like to do, and let the voters decide if that is what they, the voters, want, instead of placating and posing in order to fool voters into supporting the candidate..
Also, the fact that the overwhelming majority of this country is pro America, and does want to make America strong, great, and prosperous, and sees who the enemy is...the lying media, the entire lib left leaders and enablers.
That mush mouth dweebs make poor candidates for the right, and rather than attempting to sway a few libs, it is better to tap into the 100,000,000 people who sit out elections because both candidates suck, and show them via honesty, integrity, and hard work that in fact you, (the candidate) is worthy of their vote.
The GOP leadership is politically retarded. If they had the ability to learn, they would have after being clobbered in 2006. But no, they keep electing RINO speakers and appeasing the Democrats wherever possible.
They are retarded. They are incapable of learning anything beyond how to solicit money and power. They have no clue how to govern.
The people want someone they like, they think is a winner, and above all someone who will go to battle to achieve their vision that the voters want implemented.
Elite GOP support for amnesty is driven by large donations from commercial and agricultural interests dependent on a ready supply of cheap immigrant labor. For the most part, arguments based on compassion and good policy are beside the point. Money interests want amnesty and the push for it will not easily be abandoned no matter how little political sense it makes for the GOP.
