The biggest problem is the fact that politicians go to DC once they are elected, and are then put under a lot of pressure to conform.
They are basically succumbing to the Stockholm Syndrome. This is a phenomenon documented decades ago in which hostages who are subjected to harsh treatment by their captors adopt their captors values and goals as a means of survival. Not everyone put into a hostile environment succumbs. But I think this is the reason why many people who were elected on solid conservative platforms end up advancing socialism lite instead of standing up for the American values they originally espoused.
If we would keep politicians home, in their districts among those who elected them, we would have a chance to protect them from Stockholm Syndrome. There is no reason they must be physically present in DC.
Then why is it that so many go to DC, and DON’T become victims of your purported ‘Stockholm Syndrome’?
And do you think that the lure of money and power stops at the borders of DC?
I can think of a few in DC that I’d very much like to see as President, Jordan and Nunes topping the list.
Party is no big deal. An Organization is a good beginning.Posted before-this idea:
Next step after stolen election?
We should form a national forum/group of true leaders that will vet various candidates and office holders and then back them with funding and publicity. A person like Donald Trump, or his son could be the leader.
Donations? Of course, if you approve of candidates after vetted.
Possible names for this vetting group? Unique/catching name?
Trump Taskforce? Reagan Republicans?
Now put yourself at the top to choose those that need to be vetted, similar to Supreme Court candidates. Who would you choose? Gather all the information on all of them and maybe private investigators to help. Just NO GOP help, please.
People around the country, even local city politicians can be vetted. Get rid of RINOS! Present names of rinos to be defeated?(Linda Graham,etc). MAYBE soon a person passing the tough conservatives’ vetting will be a badge of honor with 80 million people on our side.
EVEN a number of suggestions from this FreeRepublic forum. After all, we are everywhere.
