My opinion is the current crop of Republicans feel the Republican party can never do more than be the weaker second party so they get along to remain a little in power.
Establishment Republicans are against any conservative principled person in national politics getting hold and forcing a swing away from the status quot.
Palin is great, and she gets slandered from all sides as did Cruz get the same treatment.
The answer:
From the grass roots we need to sent people up who have the guts to make major conservative changes to lead a charge back to the success of our original Constitutional Republic.
Don't fund the RNC.
Fund the ones rising that you like.
It’s a shame.
Truth is our guys are in bed with the other side.
They sip cognac, smoke cigars, pat each other on the back and say “Boy we sure put one over on the rubes today”
