That was great she was on fire. I agree with her. Another reason I can not stand him is because My Governor is a rino Mccain lover. And my president lacks conservative views.

Ah I see. Presidents that win multiple national elections, governors who win state wide races, nominees of the party, all know nothing of politics and are but sheep who have gone astray. But committed live-for-politics ideological activists who haven't run for dogcatcher...

Look I hear ya, I would prefer it if true conservatism were a majority position in the country, and so much so that we didn't need liberal republican allies. But it isn't and we do. Hopefully as junior partners in a coalition rather than senior ones, but that will break both ways at times. Pretending we already "own" 70% of the country and can afford to write off whole voting blocs as insufficiently like-minded, though, is naive and juvenile and a recipe for defeat.

By all means let's convince the party to nominate conservatives. But let's leave bridges to all the groups we need votes from to win and govern, intact. Burning them all down with hurled anathemas, just reads us out of national politics, not them out of the party. They aren't going anywhere.
