We lost elections because we thought that the Republican party was OUR PARTY, now we know better. We were BETRAYED by our own party that gave a half-hearted effort and had no heart or true beliefs. As Rush Limbaugh said a few years ago—The Republican Party has no ideology.
They played the game of calling themselves conservatives because they knew that they needed that brand to win elections, but their hearts were not in it. They just wanted to line their own pockets and be lobbyists for the cronies that made up the donor class.
Yep, that is exactly true. In the past it didn’t matter as much because what the donors wanted and what the base wanted were not as far apart. But with the housing boom under Bush and the 10s of millions of Illegals Bush let in, the donors get a taste of cheap, reliable, labor (at least compared to the losers coming out of American high schools), and they want that labor to be PERMANENT...so now it’s AMNESTY for them, and nothing short and they’re willing to let the Democrats and the media do whatever it takes to achieve that end.
But that’s where they stepped in it. The question is whether we can finish them off with Trump - if we do, we may be back to a 2-party system.
