Turning Point wants to send a message to the Republican National Committee and rank-and-file members of the party: It’s past time to modernize.

Ahead of the RNC’s January winter meeting in Las Vegas, Turning Point Action, a conservative nonprofit group, held its own Sin City event: The Restoring National Confidence Summit. It was meant to spur the Republican Party to embrace reality when it comes to winning elections.

In an interview, Andrew Kolvet, a spokesman for both Turning Point Action and its sister nonprofit organization Turning Point USA, said the Jan. 29–30 meeting brought together what he called grassroots elements of the party and showed them how elections are now won and lost.
