As far as I can tell, it died after Reagan.
Clearly, this writer wants the GOP to continue in its present form, right down to following the left’s suggestion of nominating jeb bush to be the latest mediocrity to usher in eight more years of democrat rule.
Conservatives didn’t believe the Wall Street banks and hedge funds were too big to fail, nor do we believe the GOP, this establishment of ancient elitists, is too big to die. The disempowerment of wheezing geriatric geeze-bags like mccain, graham, hatch and their peers can only be a good thing.
It weakened after Reagan left office. It went into a death spiral when Roger Ailes and Lee Atwater departed.
They have been DNC-lite ever since. In the past, the GOP has always had a very tense relationship with Reagan and Goldwater.
Just remember... the “Tom Toles” (whoever the hell this “writer” PR front man for the left libs is) of Reagan’s day... said the SAME things about Reagan.
We change the GOPe from within. Call them when they are lickspittles for the leftist Establishment. Call them, when they are NOT following a Republican conservative platform they voted to support. Call them on everything— constantly. Make the real money people pay attention to Conservatism.
This is what the lib media frauds fear most— they tell us this every day, so it is easy to follow. Repubs are just supposed to be “office holders” and not be “In Power” and powerful in their publicly elected offices. Hence— McConnell and Boehner, lap dog lick spittles who have already been paid off. Follow the money. In McConnell’s case it is his Taiwanese wife’s dad’s Asian ship owner/shipping firm and it’s business of hauling cheap crap from china for wal-mart. In Boehner— they’ve blackmailed him, literally because his daughter is married to a rasta-man jamaican posse controlled doper. For real. The strings go very far up. For dem example— obamaumao visits harry “mob bagman” reid in... Las Vegas. Comes in AF-1 and leaves with briefcases of cash. Secret service can say nothing, of course. Same as what hitlery did all over the world— in the diplomatic pouch US owned/paid for aircraft.
How it is in Bolshevia.
...and either Trump or Cruz (or both) will finally bury it.
‘Cause it STINKS to high Heaven.
WHAT IS TRUE IS America HAS BEEN BLESSED AND HAS OFFERED THE BEST OPPORTUNITY FOR/TO EACH OF US. NOT EVERYONE IS WILLING TO ATTEMPT TO LOVE FREEDOM OF CHOICE AND DIRECTION. IT IS DAUNTING. MIND CONTROL IS A DANGEROUS THING AND THE GOVERNMENT IS WELL INTO PROMOTING IT EXCLUSIVELY.
WHAT NOW? RELIGION AND TURNING FROM CHRISTIANITY IS AT BASE. HOLDING ON TO OUR FAITH IS PARAMOUNT . lET US PRAY AND REPENT
Bush I started the death sprial with his “No New Taxes” Pledge he couldn’t keep. Bush II sealed it with his weakness and wars. Then came Dole, McCain and Mittens. Even the Tea Party (Killed with help from the GOP) couldn’t save it. It must be A) Revived at the core with a new direction or B) die and be replaced by a new party. I believe this election is a turning point in American History. Its like 1860 all over again. A new Movement needs to be started within the ranks of the GOP—A new Club within the party that will seek patriotic goals and dump internationalism.
