1) The key is voter education. Features and benefits presented over and over. A consistent message from a recognized and trusted salesman.
2) internecine conflicts should be limited to primaries. Parties have a responsibility to hold open primaries to resolve conflicts democratically.
3) Great political change is seldom accomplished in one election cycle. It took FDR almost 10 years to corrupt the US political process and upset the necessary balance between the three branches of our government.
Here, however, is where we part company on issues:
1) Any change must be in the desired direction. Sponsoring liberals will never advance conservatism.
2) Supporting a party that corrupts the political process will not advance the cause of conservatism.
3) Spreading a myth that a principled politician can't evoke public loyalty across a broad political landscape is at best counterproductive and at worst a cancer that promotes self defeat.
If the CRP persist in advancing liberalism then maybe their usefulness to California has ended and they deserve to expire, replaced by a party(?) that will advance conservatism.
