IMO, our problem is that we do not have ONE candidate to run against the Republican "chosen" candidate.
In 1980, there were not five conservatives fighting Reagan for the opportunity to run against GHW Bush. Conservatives ran ONE candidate.
If we ever want to duplicate Reagan's victory, we need to do the same.
Well, now you know how the RiNO B*stardate got their guy through on a Party 70% of whose members absolutely rejected him.
Run over to this bright-eyed, eager conservative and whisper in his ear, "whisper, whisper, whisper", then run over to that one, "whisper whisper whisper whisper", then on and on until about six of them have been dragged in .... None of them named Sarah Palin (there's the key) and none of them capable of uniting the Right.
Duck soup, if your name is Mephistophilis.
