How’s this for “unifying”:

Big government GOPe types? Back of the bus. Shut up and sit down.

Theres no reason that a candidate cannot appeal to both "populist" and "managerial" sides, as long as both can compromise a bit.

But from what I see, the populists (conservatives), while receiving lip service early in campaigns, are the only ones ever asked to compromise when it counts these.

I'm sick and tired of it and will not abide anymore.

The vast majority of the rank and file of the Republican party are *already* unified. It is the leadership that are in dissent, trying to force their ideas on everyone else.

The rank and file want to fight the Democrats and everything they stand for. The leadership are comfortable with what the Democrats want, and do not want to “rock the boat” of a bloated, inefficient, failure of the federal government spending our nation into poverty for *nothing*.

The candidate that can unite the Republican party is Hillary Clinton.

The GOPe denial is just stunning.

No.
Irreconcilable differences.
For the simple reason that GOPe won't ever support conservatives.
Look what happened in the VA Guv race. We had a great candidate who was undermined at every turn by elements of the VAGOP. Funding was pulled by the RNC when it looked like he might win. Some of the VAGOP would rather the Clinton's Bag Man be Guv than a conservative.

In the Senate race we were told to get in line and vote for their amnesty candidate. He lost. It's not working anymore.

Conservatives are waking up to the fact that the GOP is working against them and are no longer supporting just any R.

Regrettably, for the Republic to survive, the GOP must die.

Go with Cruz, and you won’t lose.

Strange that he makes the divide more about Evangelicals vs. non-Evangelicals than anything else.

That divide was peripheral or irrelevant in most of the political debates I've ever heard or read.

Comments?

Ronald Brownstein ..... isn't this the same leftist jackwagon that spewed his anti-conservative venom at the Los Angeles Times in the past?
