If what you believe is true and no conservative can win then that is why you are receiving no replies to your question. You answered it yourself.
I’m not the type of person who believes in choosing a lesser evil so I’m not the one to ask a question like “who could win”. I would put up the candidate I believe in and let evil fight against them. That’s just the way God made me.
I do believe that there are candidates out there who would be great speakers however they have to be asked. I have no idea if they would say yes or no. I would choose someone conservative outside of DC however. Sarah Palin has crossed my mind more than once. I’m sure the “she can’t win” or “she is hated” comments are coming. Personally, unless there is a candidate for the job who I believe is worth fighting for I could care less which one of them gets the job as nothing is going to change. We would be exchanging one poison for another.
I just heard the other day that 41% of the country claims they are conservative. I believe that the GOP should at least be making an attempt to represent those 41%. The way they act you’d think it was more like 5%.
If we are going to be honest with ourselves and this is how it’s going to be “conservatives can’t win”, “Cruz can’t win”, “the House won’t elect a conservative” then we may as well just give up now and save ourselves the grief. Choosing the “one that can win” has only caused us great harm and will continue to further erode what is left of the Republic.
Personally, I’d rather stand up and fight praying that God is on our side than die a death by a thousand little cuts hoping that Satan will eventually get tired of the war.
You just spelled out why a non-politician, Donald Trump, is leading in every state and national poll. It is because 41% are conservative, but the career politicians are acting as puppets of their rich donors, which is never conservative. May be America is beginning to awaken.
