He was a big-wig in the College Republican movement for several years. Not a totally bad idea to get students opposed to Lenin-style marxism, but the College Republicans are just the Trotsky side of the debate in a Gramscian Poli-Sci environment. They all favor cultural hegemony.
I think is was Star Parker who I remembered. Couldn’t believe she could lose after listening to her. I underestimated the empowering of laziness I think.
