I was once hoping that the Tea Party would get the critical mass to become a new party for conservatives. Unfortunately that never happened. But Trump has the numbers to do it.

The GOP has failed too many times. Even when they are in power the government expands, spending increases, and freedom decreases. We desperately need a new party that represents conservative interests and that, unlike the GOP, actually plays to win.


I got a call today from some term limits group looking for donations. Term limits has worked fairly well in Michigan, but politicians have learned to game the system somewhat.

Term limits has broken up the state's entrenched political class, and I think a similar federal term limit scheme should be a plank for a conservative party.

The downside is that the lobbyists never go away.

An excellent suggestion that I think would get some traction. There is enormous frustration with the longevity of professional politicians and their sense of entitlement to their jobs. Even the Dems are tiring of their old entrenched leadership.

Its a good idea but the political class would fight it tooth and nail. Ever notice that once in government, always in government?

Term limits is something to push for in any case. The Founding Fathers would like it, and we owe it to them.
