| Reynolds: Two ripe targets for GOP |
| 2015-03-23 |
The Republicans have a real opportunity to connect with voters and win big in 2016. But to do so, they'll have to get over their traditional love for Big Business. Will they be smart  enough to do that? The prospects don't look especially bright.But the fact is that many big businesses are unpopular with the public, aligned with the Democrats, and wide open for attack. And after eight years of the Obama administration's naked cronyism and support of Wall Street even as the middle class has suffered, the opportunities are there. |

| #5 "Tame Republicans" - Liberals who left the Socialist Party and try to make a living portraying themselves as 'middle of the road' pols. They forgot that 'getting along' with the Socialist is why the Socialist took over their old party. |

| #4 Would work for actual Republicans, but not Tame Republicans. The latter actually support most of the Left's agenda. They won't fight the Left, only dissenters within their ranks. |

| #3 Maybe, Bobby? We are moving farther and farther away from free-enterprise every day. And have been ever since the old timey "capitalists" discovered the efficacy and pleasure of rent seeking. Our economy is suffering from the pollution of toxic ideology and greed. Part fascist, part socialist part plutocracy and part self-serving political graft & corruption. Any new business is quickly poisoned or quickly dies. |

| #2 Big business as represented by Wall Street has many lefties among its ranks. The fact that so much of Main Street got pilloried when the market collapsed due in part to Democrat policies on sub-prime loans and sweetheart deals with Wall Street banks. It shouldn't be too hard to connect those dots. |

| #1 Being concerned about 'Big Business', in its' present form, does not necessarily mean one is down on the free enterprise system. Maybe government interference has corrupted free interprise. "Economic justice can best be won by free men through free enterprise." -- C. William Brownfield |
