from the GOP. I've been browbeat here about moderates having the money and power...well then they need to put their money where their mouth is and buy up all the media.

The GOPs control over 30 years caused a huge amount of damage to the country. Now, the GOP is controlled by crazy RWing wackadoodles, so a moderate message from someone would probably resonate with the most people.

Certainly running as republican-lite doesn't work, despite the experts here who demand that it does.
