The party is certainly at a crossroads. We’ve went along twice with “moderates” with confused messages and lack of teeth. While I don’t believe a firebrand conservative is necessarily the answer I do believe that a passionate, constitutionalist, freedom loving, conservative is the answer. We have the wind at our backs. Liberty isn’t hard to sell, strong families, a growing economy, the boot of government off of the necks of working families isn’t a hard sell but for some reason GOP leadership seem to think their target demographic is illegal aliens, the inside the beltway political class, and corporatist money men. The reason Reagan is popular even today is because he sold an optimistic liberty loving, proud, patriotic vision. I don’t believe that appeal has changed. The problem is we haven’t had a candidate run on anything close to that in a long while.
You must be young. I've been doing it since 1972 when I reluctantly voted for Nixon. Enough is enough.
GHWB ran on it but he was a liar.
