I know we live in an everybody-gets-a-trophy world... but there are no prizes for second running up in politics. It hasn’t worked in the past because the majority of Republicans that were elected in the past were not conservatives. Plain and simple. If they are this time... it’ll be different. Personally I’m optimistic. But, not crazy.
And, I’m old. I don’t feel like waiting 2 more, 3 more, N more election cycles before ANY other party than the Democrats control the congress.
Re-stacking the congress with more "moderates" and RINOs will not get you what you are looking for, instead the country will continue to die a very slow and painful death... if need be, I would rather it collapse fast and hard so we can try a Constitutional "reset".
