Over the last twenty years one thing that so many Republican candidates have consistently overlooked is the window Free Republic offers into what is actually on the minds of every day grass roots conservatives.
During my time as a consultant I always read the responses in posts like this to get a good idea of what grassroots conservatives were thinking on a given subject.
The responses here ought to be seen as a nearly perfect reflection of the average hard core conservative’s view on the Bud Light boycott and the stupid unforced error by junior.
All of these responses are spontaneous and unsolicited.
Of the first 100 at least 90 were clearly in favor of the boycott and angry at junior for his smug edict; and worse still the REASON for his smug edict.
Let this be a lesson to smart Republican candidates: open an account at Free Republic and post your ideas here first.
Unfortunately, the too smart by half candidates that think they have to spend a ton of money to have a “Top Flight” pollster find out what grass roots conservatives think, are the wide majority.
Smart conservative candidates ought to read Free Republic every day to gain their edge.
This is true.
