If nothing changes, nothing changes. We seem unable to unite on anyone or anything - even to defeat our common opponent. Until this changes, being effective in the nation's politics is futile.
The bottom line is the best people, the most conservative people that most of us were asking, requesting, begging to run, said they would not run. There were a number of people we could have been energized to rally around. They are not running. Through this entire process, seeing what we are seeing, possibly feeling what we are feeling, and none of them have changed their minds and decided to jump in. If they are seeing what we are, and feeling what we are feeling, and they are still not jumping in to give folks a conservative alternative that can get the votes and win in November because they energize the conservative base, well, that says something too.
