Does everyone forget how the left felt after 2000 & 2004? (liberalism is DEAD, blah blah blah). And look at how “well” the far left has recovered. One of their candidates has the probability of being in office.
Why is it we think conservatism in the republican part is “dead” because of setbacks?
The left was badly on the ropes but Jorge the Mexican pulled them back up again.
17% showing in SC?
If we insist on forwarding, and voting for, candidates because they are less liberal than the others we don't have much chance at recovery.
If the GOP continues with it's "don't offend the opposition" policies it will continue as well with it's "it's only a flesh wound" performances.
If the GOP continues with it's ill conceived outreach to democrat dominated interest groups - if the party continues to muddy it's message and act without conviction...
We ARE doomed - No; the GOP is doomed.
