You build nothing with the guy who threatens to take his ball and go home EVERY time he fails to get his way. I for one am sick of begging these people to do what they should. Most of them are new comers to the movement (to me since I started at 16 years old in '66) and are faint of heart.
I do not agree with everything this President, nor any President has done and that includes Reagan. However I believe the DIRECTION we are going is better than it has been since 88.

Look, not everyone is going to fall into lockstep, or share some vision of "the movement."
The American character will usually reject demands that it should. There's a long, proud tradition in this country of telling the arrogant and powerful to pound sand. That tradition isn't going away (God forbid it ever does), so the arrogant need to get over the delusion that power and votes are their birthrights.
You can't herd cats with a bludgeon.
