We have to say now we think the character of the party has changed so far it will take something very exceptional, something really out of the ordinary line to make us be convinced there's a chance of winning back the party.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I feel fantastically excited that we have a leader who fought for the leadership without compromising his quite challenging view that the party has to change.
I think the best thing that can happen to the Republican Party is that it is identified as a party organized around a set of principles, ideals and ideas for our future.
The dissolution of the Party - we will not let such a tremendous, big, and glorious party be so easily crashed: this would then be the moment, when we would begin to fight on all fronts.
The party has to be rebuilt on all levels. In a way, maybe it's to be expected when you've had a governor in office for 12 years and he and his people are stepping down.
I always think that the party that offers the most hope and ideas for the future is the party that wins.
We are in a period when old questions are settled and the new are not yet brought forward. Extreme party action, if continued in such a time, would ruin the party. Moderation is its only chance. The party out of power gains by all partisan conduct of those in power.
Our political system needs changing. It needs to move away from personalities and patronage to a system of party programs and consultation with the people.
By the end of 'Game Change,' one feels that the candidates' few happy moments are those when they 'lose it.'
I want our party to step up its efforts to reflect and champion the concerns of everybody who has reached the second half of their lives.
People are very sophisticated in their concerns about various parties, in their hopes for what the next government could look like. And I'm not going to prejudge any possible outcomes.
