It took one Reagan but that was 30 years ago. Things are much worse now and we’re falling fast.

We tend to gloss over the struggles of the past ... the things we’ve overcome to get here.

I’m not completely sure we’re in much worse shape than we were then. The GOP was saddled with the Nixon legacy of corruption, secrecy, and a decidedly liberal domestic agenda. We were in the depths of the Carter Administration ... recession, job losses, gas lines, hostage crisis, Cold War. We’d lost the last election because of a lackluster RINO nominee ... Gerald Ford. Democrats controlled everything. Republicans were a voiceless, impotent minority.

Reagan, a previously defeated candidate, emerged from the ash-heap.

“It took one Reagan but that was 30 years ago. Things are much worse now and we’re falling fast.”

We are falling fast because Obama won, and that far-left liberal and his nonsense was supported by over 60 million people. Declaring the GOP a lost cause while ignoring this salient point is like blaming the ship’s cook for a sinking ship.

If the GOP cannot build a majority party based on core conservative values of life & liberty ... THEN NO PARTY CAN.
