I adopted my strategy from Ronald Reagan. We win, they lose. If it was good enough for him, it’s good enough for me.

Just keep supporting the conservatives and shun the RINOs. All of them.

“We win, they lose.”

Can you elaborate?

I agree. Otherwise then we have a very partisan leftist Marxist Democrat party and idiot Rinos who want to make deals with them and not follow principals.

Classic textbook is Lindsey Grahmnesty.

How about the words of Reagan posted right here at FR:

"When I began entering into the give and take of legislative bargaining in Sacramento, a lot of the most radical conservatives who had supported me during the election didn't like it.

"Compromise" was a dirty word to them and they wouldn't face the fact that we couldn't get all of what we wanted today. They wanted all or nothing and they wanted it all at once. If you don't get it all, some said, don't take anything.

"I'd learned while negotiating union contracts that you seldom got everything you asked for. And I agreed with FDR, who said in 1933: 'I have no expectations of making a hit every time I come to bat. What I seek is the highest possible batting average.'

"If you got seventy-five or eighty percent of what you were asking for, I say, you take it and fight for the rest later, and that's what I told these radical conservatives who never got used to it.

So would you vote for a 75% candidate in the general election, or sit on your hands and hold out for 100%? You want to go by what President Reagan said, then read his position about political compromise.

Any response to these words of wisdom from President Reagan?
