I still believe in a majority of the areas of the country (but not where I live for instance), Reagan conservatism will win.
Me, too, wholeheartedly. The problem with this gent is that he is a "purger", an always tiny, pure ivory tower, itty-bitty GOP tent... no moderates allowed as Republicans ever, no matter how liberal the state. California, Massachusetts, Vermont, New York, etc... that's a one-way street to never controlling any of the three branches of government. The liberals have been slowly and relentlessly pulling the country left through incrementalism for decades by standing solidly together with the whole spectrum on the left, I think the only way to pull the country rightwards is for conservatives to do the same on the right in blue states.
