My husband thinks that because I am not in lockstep with everything GOP, I’m not real conservative. The labels and groups do indeed need to go away. They describe nothing identifiable. If there was a way to have double-blind publications, and have the audience decide on the contents and merit, we might wend our way. Thank you is so insufficient when referencing the way you have navigates the past three years. I “got it” immediately when you went through the events at Evergreen, and thought, “I need to hear from these people”.

As a conservative, I find the GOP's apparent willingness to be "the respectful opposition" in perpetuity rather distasteful. I don't lionize Trump, despite voting for him twice, but the "never Trumpers" did all conservatives a disservice IMO.

Knee-jerk governing or thinking does us all a disservice. I’ll always vote Republican, because I am a conservative. Yesterday on “The Five”, Harold Ford, Jr., hit the nail on the head, and affirms my conservative position. He said, “Until the GOP gets on the right side of the abortion issue they have no chance.” I’ll never put a check to vote for a pro-choice candidate, regardless of other positions. His mind will never be changed, as will not the other pro-choice minds. I shared my opinion that the GOP will lose because the numbers don’t seem to be there.
