Maybe not conservatism but the Republican Party is damaged and of course the Republican Party is conservatisms best hope. And if the Republicans are going to win and keep the Clintons from having a second stint in the WH, we'd better nominate Rudy. He's our best hope right now. I'm sure Sean Hannity would agree.
I think both the GOP brand and the conservative brand have been terribly damaged by the president and the recent GOP congress.
Many strong conservatives were kicked in the balls on election day. Denial ain't a river in Egypt.
