What we need more urgently is TERM LIMITS

***************

That is a partial solution but its not enough. We also desperately need a new party that actually stands for something. At the risk of stating the obvious the GOP is, in many respects, a soulless party that is constantly manipulated and outmaneuvered by the Democrats.

' The article states this problem well:

Simply put, for Democrats, the ends justify any and all means. The fact that Republicans were so blindsided and befuddled by this in the coronavirus context indicates the GOP still lacks an understanding of the nature of their political adversary.

We cannot move the country forward and solve our problems with a weak, clueless and unprincipled party. Its like going into battle no weapons.

I disagree.

A political party is a vehicle. Its effectiveness is determined by its members and leadership.

It is like saying we need to get rid of the Cleveland Browns because they never win a Super Bowl. The real problem is not the team, but the leadership and members.

The Browns and GOP are only crap because they have entrenched people running them who indoctrinate the newest members and leaders to do the same thing.

The GOP needs fresh blood from top to bottom and the only way to do that is via term limits.
