GWB’s Tokyo Rove would call what you describe as “Stratigery.”
I call it the Doormat Republican’s failed fool’s game of “Nicey-Nice.”
Sure. Anybody who can’t defend themselves against the media should never run for office.
And Cruz, and Lee!
Trey & Sarah, 2016...!!!
DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A REAL conservative!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Could be.
If a pol wants to energize the base they can get them excited by attacking. If they want to draw in more neutral voters they must tone down the message.
I've had quite enough of wishy washy pubs. I'll listen to Sarah with pleasure, thanks.
I just fear it takes more than that to win elections. I'll be the first to admit I have no answers.
The Dems are gonna have their hands full. Their PANTS are filling as you read this! Get those popcorn orders in fast. Gonna be a hell of a show...
Q:Why did obozo tie the hands of General Hal “Leave no one behind” Moore’s military descendents the night of Benghazi?
A: He had an election to win and didn’t want to piss off his muslim buds.
Presidential material for sure. Anyone that can take it straight to the media is my guy.
That’s down right impressive...He didn’t just spank the journalists...He backhanded them pretty good...
Fair enough.
Dole, McCain and Romney all ran with no fire in the belly.
I can only find a handful of Republicans who have fire in the belly; Cruz, Lee, Gowdy, Gomert.
Political victory always goes to the politician that stays on Offense.
My question to you is as follows:
“What is the probability of a Republican politician being able to stay on Offense if he /she does not have consistent fire in the belly?”
Imagine him as POTUS facing Putin or leaders of our European “allies”.
Better yet, I want him to raise hell in that useless anti-American organization a.k.a. the UN.
The folks in the background were not smirking — they were gleeful knowing that the MSM would be left dumbfounded by Gowdy.
Oh. No. That’s not what I meant. If anyone can do it he can.
Will the GOP ever stop sabotaging and agreeing toe this? We are a free country. Why can’t they do an equal time debate with Mark Levin or Stephen Hayes or someone like that?
“What is the probability of a Republican politician being able to stay on Offense if he /she does not have consistent fire in the belly?” "
Easy! Zero.
I know - me too!
We just have to do better "theater."
BRAVO!
Step on their toes,
Punch ‘em in the nose!
The time to confront,
Is here you see!
Never let up,
From dawn to sup’
Put the Dems
Out of their Misery!
- Thomas Jefferson
WOW!
Thanks for the good post, FRiend.
Enjoyed it!
