When the hard right of the Party has finished with their purges, when we moderates, and even some of the still around liberal members of the GOP are gone...when you can raise your hands held high and say "Our dogma is complete, we can win with just those who think like us". Just exactly how many bodies are you going to get to a voting booth? Even the most biased TOWARDS the GOP indicates you've a core voting bloc of perhaps 20% of the electorate. You would rather puke then compromise, you like the status quo and see no reason for change. You want to slash government, and let loose the Free Market. That will be the day you feel exhaltant...but you'll still be out of office. Edited by Tsalagi, Apr 21 2016, 09:15 AM.

Perhaps. But we won't be cooperating in the progressive agenda nor giving it moral approval. That's the first step toward a renaissance. Remember the GOP was wiped out with Goldwater. The only thing which will defeat the progressives is a victory where they are left without restraint. Trump may be our Goldwater. There is a Dick Nixon out there after the new LBJ. |

No, no, there won't be AI...cooperating is not the same as surrendering..and believe it or not, it's what the GOP did for decades with the Democrats...it's called compromise, and no, it's not a dirty word. We governed not for the sake of the Party, but for the good of the country which meant that sometimes we got all or none of what we wanted but atypically we'd get something of what we wanted. You won't get what you want because people that look like me and darker will be in the majority within the next 40 years..their children and grandchildren will not know of a time when their interests weren't paramount like today's minorities are. Good luck with the 20% |

Abraham Lincoln didn't cooperate with the Progressives of his era. Did he? The good of the country requires resistance and rejection of the Progressive agenda. That will only happen by refusing to give it moral approval. 20% is all you need for a revolution. It's all George Washington needed to eject the Progressive King George III. |

Actually, Lincoln was very magnanimous toward the former Confederacy at it's defeat, he wanted to ensure that they reentered as the State's they were before the War. The good of the country is realizing that half the country doesn't think like you, and has different needs. Trying to impose your political beliefs in the misguided notion that you know what is right comes dangerously close to tyranny. Actually Washington needed something alone the lines of 33% and without the aid of the French, it is highly likely that Washington and the other FF's would have found themselves at the end of an English noose when they'd crush the revolution. |

Lincoln waited until he defeated the progressives to show magnanimity. Perhaps Putin is the new Louie. |

The fact that you idolize a mass murder of innocent Chechens worries me. 20 years ago if you'd been in the service, you would have looked at him as just another Commie KGB General that you'd hope to put a bullet in. |

The commies have been gone from Russia for a while. But they're abundant in the white house. We should have learned there are no innocent Chechens after Boston. |

Are you kidding me, you don't get to be a KGB General by not believing the USSR, he's aching to restore the glory of Mother Russia, a direct threat to the former Soviet republics and Ukraine destabilizing. I invite you to watch the videos of Grozny....the untold deaths of innocent Chechens, the fact that you'd blame them for 2 men. all really has me worried for you. Given your philosophy, I should blame all white men for being racist genocidal killers for the actions done, Obama is no Communist, you're believing rhetoric because none of his philosophy comes close to the political or economic version of communism.

Electoral victories are secondary concerns. The battle against progressives is primarily spiritual. |

Only to you. Most people don't give a damn. Money, jobs, not getting shot, schools, roads and airports that work... stuff like that matters more to the rest of us. Edited by nNeo, Apr 22 2016, 08:46 AM.

Your faith in the establishment is misplaced. Wages have been stagnant since the 1990's, public schools remain abysmal, and will continue to remain so. Roads and airports? JFK and LAX are a joke. You keep voting for the Bushes and the Clintons, and don't be surprised in another twenty years that we are stuck in more middle eastern wars, with ever-deteriorating infrastructure, and worsening public schools. You elect for more of the same failure. |

Sure he did... Lincoln was a Republican Andrew Johnson was his VP...A Democrat |

Trump needs to focus more so on the male vote. He should have nationalized the Boy Scouts when they decided to admit girls. Harambe4Trump AKA "FASHY" | |

Back up the truck.. didn't people from both parties say the far right is no threat and insignificance. How is it these few and proud able to hijack the party? Maybe you should stop blaming the far right and look at Obama as the cause. |

You have no idea who I voted for, or for whom I have faith. You support people who have literally no plan for any of those things, let alone a history of improving them. Schools are funded and managed at the state and local level. Mine are great. If yours are abysmal perhaps you should reevaluate your local leadership. I haven't been to LAX or JFK for years, but never had problems there. I'm through ORD, SFO, PDT, MKE, DCA and a couple others regularly, and they are fine. LGA needs some work. Culture wars aren't going to make our lives better. That was my central point. Most voters don't give a damn about "spiritual" issues. |

When you compromise on principles - then it is absolutely a dirty word. |

Politics is the science of negotiation, one can not be dogmatic when you're involved with a Government when at lest 40% of the country doesn't think like you do. We send people to DC to govern for the whole country, just not those you agree with in political philosophy. |

No. The way it is supposed to work is you send politicians to Washington that represent their constituents, who also represent the principles of that constituency. Whether is works or not is besides the point - the american republic was designed to keep the rule of law and government in check, not compromising on principles, misrepresenting constituents and attempting to solve problems all the while growing the feck out of government.

Yes, and you lay out those interests, and those of the opposing side, and you reach a consensus somewhere in between where all parties get something rather then nothing. It's not misrepresenting anything if work with the opposition to actually govern the entire country, not just your one slice of the pie Otherwise what you have is gridlock, obstructionism where nothing is done and Government and the country as a whole suffers. |
