Seems to me....that you desire to point the gun at yourself first...before pointing at your enemy.

My main thought is the GOP as a party needs to take itself back to a party that can be respected for standing on it's own merit rather than a Me Too but just not as much copy of the DEMs. The last POTUS election with candidates that were truly nearly opposites was in 1980 and 1984. The GOP Congress as well won landslides in 1994 not by being Me Too party but by a clear distancing itself from such and setting it's own course.

The GOP's failures began when as a majority they stopped acting as such and adapted themselves to being the Me Too party following the DEM's cues. This happened in a period of months between the 1994 congressional election and the 1996 POTUS election. The GOP as a result never recovered.

I understand your thinking...........

There are "some" pubbies worth saving....

And I agree...there are hundreds of pubbies that aren't worth spit.

But I am not going to shoot the lot of them to prove a point....And I am not going to lose a war.....because a battle seems so important.

FRegards,
