Reflecting on the past election, it was conservatives that lost their own effort. There was no conservative candidate. There were several. That several ability reflects the fact there is no “conservative “ agreement.
There is internal conservative dissention. That dissention was evident, perhaps most evident, on Free Republic where posters came near to blows arguing minor points sometimes supported by Bible verses. Where there is no single voive or agreement there can be no primaried conservaative candidate.
There is great agreement that the GOPe powers are at fault. The fact is, conservatives chose to disagree about what they believe in most and thus failed to put forth a vaible candidate.
If the GOPc continues to fight over trivial internal issues, they will never be capable of fielding a candidate to win the primary.
Well the GOP leadership better find a Ronald Reagan in their ranks. I have a hard time believing there is not one in a country of over 300 million people.
