The charge of not being a “team player” is what the Republican establishment uses to justify doing political damage to a conservative in the hope that the conservative will either be brought to heel, or, better yet, defeated in the next election.

As vigorous and enthusiastic campaigner as Donald Trump is, he can only show up the weekend before the election to save a few congressional candidates whose campaigns are lagging. If you want to win, nationalize the election and start campaigning NOW on the Trump agenda.
Ted Cruz Proves He Is The Greater Man
In making what he called the agonizing choice to endorse former rival Donald Trump after Trump’s scorched earth primary campaign, in which Trump and his supporters attacked Senator Cruz’s wife and father, Ted Cruz has shown he is a greater man than are his most vehement detractors and many of his most admiring supporters.

Republican primary voters tend toward primogeniture and they may make a cause out of a closely fought loss, as Nixon’s supporters did over his 1960 loss to John F. Kennedy and Reagan’s conservative supporters did in 1976 after he was denied the Republican nomination, but it appears that general election voters have a higher standard and they will never forgive or look at a sore loser as worthy of the highest office in the land.
It’s the primaries, stupid! Trump Gets It Wrong In West Virginia
The most important step in the campaign to govern America according to conservative principles is to turnout conservatives in Republican primaries to defeat RINOs and nominate conservatives for every office, especially Congress and state legislator. Which is why Donald Trump's remark that voters should stay home from the West Virginia Republican Primary infuriated Mountain State conservatives and proved he still has a lot to learn about leading an issues-based political party.
Conservative challengers irk Establishment senators
Some of the GOP’s biggest-name incumbents and front-runners must beat back nagging challengers from the right who promise to motivate an angry conservative base frustrated with politicians who abandon them once they get into office.
The Media’s Republican Primary Analysis is Stuck in 1988
If you shake any random tree these days, a pundit who wants to tell you that the Republican primary is over will fall out of it. Alas, this is even true of many long-time conservative and/or Republican pundits. What these alleged experts in the media are missing is the fundamental way the Republican primary electorate has changed since 1988. Or, heck, since 2008.
Donald Trump: The Anti-Tea Party Candidate
Tea Party Patriots leader Jenny Beth Martin made a powerful case against Donald Trump in a speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference this past Friday, and in it were points we think every conservative and Tea Party movement supporter should consider as they vote in their respective Republican primaries.
It’s the Primaries, Stupid: Has the Filing Deadline in Your State Passed?
With all the media attention focused on the race for President conservatives may forget that there are other offices where elected officials with conservative principles are sorely needed. As CHQ Chairman Richard A. Viguerie pointed out in his book TAKEOVER, running for any office, no matter how far down the ballot, is worthy of your efforts.
Alabama GOP Rep. Martha Roby Votes To Expand Federal Control Over Education
"Show Vote" Martha Roby (AL-2) is at it again. In December, she voted YES on the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), which reauthorized the hated No Child Left Behind (NCLB) and does nothing to stop Common Core... and she's bragging about it!
It’s the Primaries, Stupid: The Most Important Office On The Ballot
Phyllis Schlafly calls precinct committeeman and women “the most powerful political office in the world,” because they determine who gets the chance to be elected to office at every level of government. Now, here is the dirty little secret establishment Republicans don’t want you to know: as many as half of the Republican precinct committeeman slots, on average, are vacant.
It’s the Primaries, Stupid: Have You Filed For Office Yet?
By Richard A. Viguerie, CHQ Chairman
The filing deadlines in six states (Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Texas, Ohio, North Carolina) have already passed and the deadline for Mississippi is tomorrow, January 8, but that leaves 43 states and the other U.S. jurisdictions where conservatives can and should file for office – any office.
Obama, Ryan and McConnell Overturn Results of 2014 Midterms, Take Victory Lap
A few principled Republicans on Capitol Hill did vote “NO” on the Omnibus: Ted Cruz said he voted not just "NO, but Hell No," and Rand Paul voted "NO," but Marco Rubio? He once again skipped the vote. Please watch our free "message from the grassroots" video and then forward it to your friends to let the Republican establishment know what you think about their complete surrender to Obama.
Phyllis Schlafly Says Primary Them! Announces #WhiteFlagCongress Townhall Meetings
In announcing the #WhiteFlagCongress campaign and townhall meeting series, Phyllis Schlafly, Founder and Chairman of the Board of the Eagle Forum, said, "At this pivotal moment in U.S. history, when our leaders ought to be standing stronger and fighting harder than ever for us - they've chosen to wave a white flag in the face of government overreach and overspending. The only thing that gets their attention is a primary! Every one of them is guilty until proven innocent! Primary Them!"
Rival campaigns starting to fear Ted Cruz
The same Republican rivals who relegated Cruz to a second tier in discussions this past summer now see this insurgent firebrand as the candidate who benefited most from Scott Walker’s exit and the one who stands to gain should Trump or Ben Carson decline. Indeed, Cruz is seen by most of his competition as one of the few likely to still be standing in March.
Jason Conger: Oregon’s Tipping Point Conservative
Jason Conger clearly represents the values of the GOP grassroots, unlike his opponent, and most importantly, Conger is willing to rock the boat to advance them – we are proud to endorse Jason Conger in the Oregon Republican Senate Primary.

Successful VA-10 Candidate Forum: But One Candidate MIA
Bob Marshall, Mark Savitt, Rob Wasinger, Stephen Hollingshead and Howie Lind all presented their vision of what priorities Virginia’s next Representative in Congress for District 10 should pursue. We’d love to know where Barbara Comstock stands on the issues of illegal immigration and the re-election of the current House Republican leadership; unfortunately, she has steadfastly declined opportunities to discuss these important issues on the same stage as her opponents. Watch the entire event here.

The Establishment’s Vile Attack on Conservative Curt Clawson
The vile attack on Curt Clawson explains a lot about why Congress is held in such contempt by the American people; it is because too many contemptible people like Clawson's opponents Lizbeth Benacquisto, Michael Dreikorn and Paige Kreegel have been elected and serve there.
