Despite expectations, Republican candidates got their butts handed to them up and down the ticket. Now we are in the “who do we blame and fire” stage of the election process. Everyone else has given their opinions on the competence or lack thereof of the Colorado Republican Party, and hey…I thought why don’t I give my two cents worth, as well. (Don’t actually look for the two cents. No free money from this column)
Dave, I so appreciate the "way forward" you describe here. I was a registered Republican since I first voted in the 1972 presidential election . . . . until 2016, when I re-registered as Unaffiliated. I would return to a GOP that resembles your prescription in a heartbeat. I hope many more pick up this banner, but alas, at this moment I don't say that with a very high degree of confidence.
Enjoy hearing your thoughts, Dave. Kind of like having a beer, but lacking the related repartee. As a former R precinct person, now U, and lacking the time and interest to stay in the game, I watched as the crazies (you know 'em when you see 'em!) wrestled the reins of county party away from the grip of the formerly entrenched insiders. Neither good nor bad, but it got us to today with (gulp, can you imagine?) a D elected to represent Highlands Ranch in this blue-for-now state's house of reps.

"Can this happen?"
Yes, it can.
But are there enough (R)s willing to do the work & put in the effort it takes?
God Save America!!!
