      The conservative movement really could use the cleansing fire of a humiliating defeat. The hard question is how much of the country you're prepared to burn down to get that.

      The GOP had its chance for a gut check after McCain and Romney lost and the TeaParty won. They chose to, and remain, mystified by the anger. The cleansing fire IS Trump. The humiliating defeat has happened.

      One of the major problems in the movement these days is the grift - people and groups, many of them outside the formal party structure, who fleece people of money or sell them nonsense, do nothing for the cause. That makes it *harder* to keep the party honest or successful.

          Your neoconservative friends make up 95% of the grift on the right.

          So bring back the Republican Party of Bill Kristol and Rick Wilson and Stuart Stevens? Bizarre.

          I think you don't really understand the "movement" anymore. Unless you change your mind this year, you won't have voted for a winning pres candidate in 20 years by the time 2024 rolls around. The "movement", as the replies above show, thinks you're the fraud. You are the grifter.

          And look, McCain was not Trump. Romney was not Trump. But clearly, Trump managed to do something both of those two couldn't, and you haven't grappled yet with what that means about the current republican party.

          This is no different than what happened under McCain and Romney. The GOP is NEVER going to let Neocons have control of the party again.

          You probably are thinking of one side of the grifter wing (Kirk, Owens, etc). You should be thinking of the other. Lincoln Project, Bulwark, Principles First. Both are a problem. This cycle, only one he’s pledged to defeat the GOP en masse.

          And we are supposed to give them control of the party / movement once their done, for some reason.

          Are you talking about @NRO and @BulwarkOnline? Because it sounds like you're talking about NRO and the Bulwark... I'm pretty sure you're talking about NRO and the Bulwark
