Looks like we have to redo the Reagan revolution from the ground up. The people who give the party its power must take the party back. The party leaders can no longer lead by principle. I expect they will now go into full pander mode trying to outliberal the liberals.
If that can not be done soon there is no hope for the GOP. It will be the Democratic Party Clone and it almost is now. You have to realize those holding the purse strings in the RNC and many of the GOP elected leaders of today who have been handpicked by a Rockefeller GOP administration despise every good thing Reagan did for this nation.
For anyone to think this appointment has nothing to do with illegal entry into this nation insults peoples intelligence. The RNC has major say over who gets GOP support of course he has major influence in party platform.
