“a political realignment like we haven’t seen since 80 with Reagan. But this time it is favoring the Dems again. The Party blew it - it’s over for 8 years.”
Get ready for another CARTER RECESSION...
At 18, I didn’t fair very well that time, and I remember the lines of 150 people lined up in the snow at 6am for the TWO part-time openings at McDonald’s, but I am FAR better insulated this time.
It’s the younger ones, who have never really had to LOOK for a job that I fear for.
We should rebuild the grassroots conservative movement. From the Reagan Revolution of 1980 through the Contract with America in 1994, it was this movement from outside Washington that carried us to the first center-right majority governing coalition in more than 60 years. The problem has not been with conservatism or with our voters.
The problem has been with Republican leaders who forgot who elected them and what values their supporters expected to see implemented in Washington.
