Pray tell who is alive? Who has the votes to be the Next C-in_C? You seem to know the future!
The GOP does not wish to run or govern on conservative principles, they as a whole are embarrassed by us, and are counterproductive to our cause.
With each passing day, more Americans are dependent on the R & Ds for their livelihoods, be it gov employment, or gov hand-outs.
The Rs see this, and know they cannot win as a conservative party anymore. They will never return to those days again.
