#1 GOP elites, can you hear us now? The grass roots tried to get the GOP leadership listen, but now I guess they had to make the leadership fear the grass roots.

#2 Niccolo Machiavelli once wrote that changing the order of things is the toughest of all undertakings. The entrenched who benefit from the status quo will fight you with all they have. The average person fears that the change agents may make it personally worse for them i.e. fix the system on their backs.

The GOP leadership benefits from the status quo. They still get campaign donations from business, get to keep their shiny offices and six digit pay.

The GOP needs a governor, i.e. someone with executive experience, to be their presidential candidate in November 2016. This person needs to articulate the basic message that Professor Dave Brat articulated.

"[Congress] just need to assert [its] representative role and to take back this executive presidency and to take their role back from the judiciary who is running the country instead of just interpreting the law," Brat said. "Were lacking true leadership, and we ran on that and we won on that. So the Republican creed is perfectly fine. We just have to follow that Republican creed, and we would do very well. It emphasizes all those American principles we are talking about."

Republican creed:
We Believe:

That the free enterprise system is the most productive supplier of human needs and economic justice,

That all individuals are entitled to equal rights, justice, and opportunities and should assume their responsibilities as citizens in a free society,

That fiscal responsibility and budgetary restraints must be exercised at all levels of government,

That the Federal Government must preserve individual liberty by observing Constitutional limitations,

That peace is best preserved through a strong national defense,

That faith in God, as recognized by our Founding Fathers is essential to the moral fiber of the Nation.

#4 Thereby leaving him to openly push for amnesty, and get his rake-off from the Chamber of Commerce et al.
Lame duck, remember.
