American’s retirement accounts absolutely love being “sad”, ........ more “sad”, ... please.
Plenty of us care. The problem is, the alternative option is even larger deficit spending on the part of the left. Their prime candidate wants to bankrupt the treasury for Medicare for None.
Selecting a far left option isn't the solution. The Republican party need to push this from within if this is important, either by elevating it on the agenda or picking candidates who will. Now it's not even a topic of discussion. Fiscal conservatives who give Republicans a free pass on this topic are just hypocrites. The drive to improve the party focus isn't going to come from the left, it has to come from within.
Fiscal conservatism doesn’t win at the polls. We saw 2 much more qualified fiscal conservatives lose to a gimmick far left progressive in back to back elections cycles and we failed to achieve any fiscal mandates. We also lost control of the country to radical progressivism.
It’s a matter of priority. SCOTUS and the lower courts are generational defining initiatives that protect conservative ideals. If fiscal responsibility is your sacred cow, I can understand your point. If overall conservatism is what’s important, sacrificing the fiscal elements for the courts and strong military is not hypocritical. It’s just prioritization.
At the end of the day, Trump has proven to be the far better option than radical leftist progressivism.
Start with Fortune 500 CEOs. Out of the 500, there would be at least 50 (and probably more like 200) who are better than any candidate on the radar today. Candidates like that typically won't even run because they typically use their brains too much to be "ideologically pure."
Ohhhh, so you’re talking about a hypothetical group of candidates. Nothing is stopping them from running. They should. You think the bureaucracy of DC wouldn’t push back violently against someone coming in to clean it up? Almost exactly like we’re seeing today?
