The GOP needs a real conservative rallying point, someone who will stand in contrast to the social, moral, educational, political, and economic rot.
That standard bearer will have simultaneously to engage rotten teachers' and government-employee unions, rotten gay-PAC and child-molester NGO's, abortion-pushers, crony capitalists, outright neo-Stalinist Communists infesting the Dim party, and Yacht Club poseurs who think everything is okey-dokey as long as they still have enough money and income to keep themselves high above the water level and well out of the rain.
The sole purpose of the Republican Party is to serve as an ineffective alternative to the Democrat Party.
Who might that be?
