I still think he falls into the easy trap of blaming the GOP in general for not being conservative enough, which I think ignores political realities. And I think he's really missing the mark by punting on the "big government" issue.
But I still respect the opinion and the way it was expressed.
The only “political reality” I’m focusing on is the democrats have been able to FORCE systemic changes to our society throughout my entire life, and the republicans never have anything but excuses for not being able to stop them.
Therefore, republicans are either lying, or incompetent. Either way, their “direction” is definitely the wrong one.
