Republican Voters Need a Reality Check and Focus on What’s Important Ep68: So much of the “conservative” media is bankrupt and they have successfully dumbed down our voters by focusing on nonsense and ignoring what is important. In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, Daniel focuses on what is truly important, irrespective of who wins this election. There is an imperative to change directions within this movement, but fortunately, there is also an amazing opportunity. If Hillary wins, she will, by far, be the most unpopular president to enter office from day one. Now is the time for state governments to fight back and permanently grab back power from the usurpations of the federal bureaucracies and courts. Daniel goes through the cases of Joe Arpaio in Arizona and Judge Roy Moore in Alabama to demonstrate how individuals are standing up to federal usurpation, but they can’t succeed because the pathetic Republicans in the state won’t stand with them.
