That's nonsense. Anyone can run, and the GOP isn't funding anyone in the primaries.
Anyone with any philosophy can be a candidate. It doesn't matter "what the GOP believes" or doesn't believe.
This forum is making the GOP organization the boogeyman, when it's simply a failure to have many good or great candidates step up.
Well, what I am suggesting is that in washington it is very difficult to behave as a conservative, all of the pressures are to be a liberal. Millions of us worked hard to put the GOP in charge, and when the GOP got in charge, it gave up and became worse spenders than the dems. Now, we didn't know that in advance, but that is what happened. So for me, at least, I am extra careful about making sure the people that I vote for are willing to battle the establishment.

But that's what we are doing, and the GOP establishment is calling us all sorts of names for not supporting big government GOP types. That tells me that the GOP as a whole isn't interested in small govenrment any more.
You might say that means that the voters aren't, but I am not so sure that is true. The shareholders of companies don't like getting ripped off by management, but it often happens. The tool that the GOP uses to keep ripping off the voters is the "if you don't vote for our guy, Hillary will win card".

That was once true. It is not any more. See Specter, Chaffee.
