Having been politically active from 1963 on, I saw the GOP recover, over many years, from the party out of control to the one in: listening to the advocates of the new minority party today, some of them think that it will be a short road back – lets hope not!

How do we stay on top?

o Deliver solutions, not problems.

o Set reasonable expectations.

o Stay on message

o Use teachable moments to demonstrate what has failed, why it failed, and how we are going to repair.
