I would consider old entrenched liberal Republicans a newbies idea of what is wrong with the conservative party. The winning Reagan party. Not the RINO party of 2006.

That's correct. And, in observation of the reality of the political fight today, you WIN a battle at a time, and cannot expect to win the war in one skirmish. When the enemy has supperior or equal numbers, you organize your efforts and resources to attack with sufficient force to inflict damage, then re-group, and gain more strength for the next battle.

Sometimes, the all-out frontal assault is NOT the best battle plan. Patience and resolve can buy time to strike and inflict damage, but we cannot afford to suffer more losses anymore. We have to take the best we have, and use it to advantage strategically.
