They are remote, unknown, operate behind the scenes and ignore their constituency. Like any huge bureaucracy, they do what they like.
We need more information about them.
We have plenty of info on the Democrats. The MSM covers them and talk show hosts slam them (deservedly) and cover their activities without end.
But the Republican elite remains unknown, remote, unresponsive and scary.
They need exposure and lots of it.
I wish he would go over the Repub. organization state by state. I don’t even have any idea how I would begin to contact them.
They sure don’t bother contacting me.
But the Democratic outreach toward their voters is constant and insistent.
Right now, the Leadership (not the grassroots nor many candidates for local and state office) still wants to operate in the smoky backroom and push their desired (weak leadership but self financed) candidates onto the voters and expect the voters to toe the line. Good quality candidates are either not supported or the Leadership works to defeat quality people in favor of weak “yes-men”.
How to take back the GOP? Get involved at the local levels. Become an elected Precinct Committeeman (or in some states it’s called “Block Captain” or “Precinct Captain”) Put in the leadership YOU want, not what is put before you by a smoky backroom.
The Leadership will cause the GOP to fall apart and lose its relevancy. The Democrats smell blood in the national waters, only their ineptitude and the ultra-liberal vs. moderate infighting of the Democrats is preventing an American conversion to one party rule.
I am somewhat sympathetic to you thoughts here. I agree.
It’s my opinion that if the leadership of the RP were removed this moment, the conservative wing of the party would be a lot better off.
