Vulcan observes:
"All I see for any GOP in Congress (till McConnell is out of there) is hopefully a stalemate where nothing much happens.
The path to advancing conservative positions right now is still thru the States, and where efforts need to be focused."
All your points are well taken.
Ahem... a "pathway"...?
"Through the States..."?
What "path" did the Colonists choose back around 1775?
Is it time yet for a New Continental Congress?
