Slipping in Sight of the Goal

The Republican Party since being beat in 2008 until it nominated Trump in 2016. https://t.co/0hjLcBrtij

How true.  The Republican Party has struggled since 2008 to regain its footing.  It has been a hard, slow process, but along the way the grass-roots and the voters helped restore a Republican majority in the House and Senate.  Unfortunately most of those that were elected to office squandered both of those opportunities.  Then in 2016, right when we have the perfect opportunity to put a Conservative in the Whitehouse we slipped and fell for a candidate that is anything but a reliable Conservative.  Great will be our fall even if we don't realize it yet.  To our shame this will not just hurt a political party but also a whole nation of people.  Why do we so often snatch defeat from the hands of victory?
