One other thing: If she thinks she can gain control over the formerly grand Old party that way, she’s delusional. It’s controlled lock, stock and barrel by McCain/Romney unprincipled hacks. They’re bought, and will stay bought. Romney and his friends have unlimited amounts of money at their disposal to make sure of it.
Remember, you heard it here first.
Sure, you of all people, know that is reality. So, how does one “buck” reality? You have to outsmart and outlast it. Being timid, and yes, holding to “principles” won’t break the dam. Sad, but this is war and “all is fair.....etc”. We are not going to turn the country around in one election cycle. It took the Progressives 100 years to get where they are. So, what are our options? Do we admit defeat and hold on to our principles, or do we fight with everything we can muster, including pragmatism, for as long as it takes?
