My opinion on why is...........how it happened!
You see, the actual conservatives NOT in government have jobs, and businesses. They were working, paying the freight of the country. All was well politically, or should I say manageable, until Clinton got elected. On the day Clinton got elected, WE had in office the exact people from the 60s who were against the establishment, and conservatism can not exist next to that ideology.
As the PC garbage grew in this country, conservative business owners had to keep their mouth shut, or have their business under federal investigation at best, or at worst closed and/or fined. In essence, the inmates were in control of the asylum! I worked for a major auto manufacturer for over 30 years, and I seen this 1st hand under the Clinton administration as everything changed.
And then the real problem surfaced that has it to the point we MUST win this time. That problem is/was, the federal departments. Clinton got his people in there where they sit to this day, and they took over control of regulations. Congress liked this idea, because they could NOT be blamed for regulatory disasters. They could just point at the EPA with a smile, and blame people we could not vote out of office.
No offense to GW supporters, but we thought we had struck back when we elected him. Nothing could be further from the truth. He spent more money than anyone up and until Obama, and let me show you how terrible he was..........he, and his administration KNEW Fannie and Freddie had big problems. He asked the Democrats (see told you they are in control, even when they lose the Presidency) about them being insolvent. They called him basically a fool, a racist, and everything else.......and he just SHUT UP and let the United States fall into the worst recession in decades. It was no surprise, he and the administration knew it was trouble. Maybe they didn't know how much trouble it would cause, but they knew, and BACKED DOWN from the Democrats, and now HE gets all the blame from the left, doesn't he! GW Bush gave us Barack, The Socialist, Obama...through his weak kneed principles when NOT wanting to deal politically with the Democrats.
And so, when someone asks what is wrong with conservatives, I point to the past. Since Gingrich, and until Cruz and Lee showed up, who was our champion? Who could we get behind? Who got up, and said all of this lefty garbage is nonsense? The left has run roughshod over Washington since that fateful day Bill Clinton got elected, and even under GW, the left actually controlled what was going on. This is why Jeb, or Christie, or Kasich is not good enough. We need Trump, Cruz, or Carson to go in there and clean the ingrained rats hiding out of their nest, shutdown whole departments, and not give in.
Oh yes, conservatives are starting to believe again, but the see the GOP fighting them tooth and nail. They understand it from the DNC, but from the RNC! This is why it is Trump, Cruz, or Carson, or every conservative that I know is going to turn independent if they aren't already. It is also a sign of hope to know, that the vast majority of independents are former Republicans or Blue Dog Democrats that left both parties because what they have become. They are waiting for the person to come on the scene to vote in that might fix it!
That is what both parties fear, that Trump, Cruz, or Carson is that person, and they will do everything in their power to keep them out of the Presidency. It is our job if we love America, to insure that they do not succeed in keeping them out, or the America we want to leave those that come after us, will have zero chance of existing.
