I adopted my strategy from Ronald Reagan. We win, they lose. If it was good enough for him, it’s good enough for me.

How about the words of Reagan posted right here at FR:

"When I began entering into the give and take of legislative bargaining in Sacramento, a lot of the most radical conservatives who had supported me during the election didn't like it.

"Compromise" was a dirty word to them and they wouldn't face the fact that we couldn't get all of what we wanted today. They wanted all or nothing and they wanted it all at once. If you don't get it all, some said, don't take anything.

"I'd learned while negotiating union contracts that you seldom got everything you asked for. And I agreed with FDR, who said in 1933: 'I have no expectations of making a hit every time I come to bat. What I seek is the highest possible batting average.'

"If you got seventy-five or eighty percent of what you were asking for, I say, you take it and fight for the rest later, and that's what I told these radical conservatives who never got used to it.

So would you vote for a 75% candidate in the general election, or sit on your hands and hold out for 100%? You want to go by what President Reagan said, then read his position about political compromise.

Any response to these words of wisdom from President Reagan?

There can be no compromise with constitution trampling big government socialist abortion pushers. They are the enemy within.

If you wish to promote RINOs you’ll have to do it somewhere other than FR.

You didn’t address the above to me, but since I just read it, I’d say this:

I’m sick of dealing with Republicans who at the most are trying to win maybe a 10% conservative agenda. If that. Really just Democrap Lite. Most of their message, votes and so on is like Democrat puke. The old saying that Dems want to take us to hell fast, and most Republicans will take us there slower, is really accurate.

Me, I want to go in the opposite direction altogether.

By the way, Ronald Reagan was adamantly opposed to socialism and socialized healthcare plans like RomneyCare:

We need to win with the the Right people!
