Sadly many have not yet learned that no one ever won a battle, much less a war, by retreating.

The democrats are fighters, we are not.

What I've learned is you pick your battles wisely. If you're forces are covered from an elevated position, you don't engage in a pointless firefight that will kill off most if not all your men, you retreat and try to fight a better vantage point to conduct that fight from.

That "better vantage point" right now is another candidate, a smarter, more competent candidate.
