Many are afraid of Fred and in reality are Rinos calling themselves conservatives.
It is simpler that that, for many the good times brought on from Reagan’s era that are still with us today have allowed them time to focus on pet issues instead of an all encompassing Conservatism.
We are a house divided in the GOP in many ways. Many have forgotten what got us here.
It took a Carter to bring us a Reagan, I hope such a lesson does not remain lost for long.
