I think the author is wrong.
Fred isn’t doing what he needs to be doing to win the nomination. Fred needs a Reagan moment. He needs to prove the pundits wrong, and he can’t do that by acting exactly like the way they say he is. He needs to stop acting like he’s too tired to run, and run already, tell the voters point blank that he’s ready to do what’s necessary to win in November. The campaign does not end after the nominee is chosen. That is when it begins. The primary is an audition for the real thing, and if Fred is the nominee and runs in the general election against the Democrats the way he’s run in the primaries, then we’re toast. This is the main reason of several that Fred has been on a 2 month long nose dive. The other reason is he’s never really made a compelling case for why America needs him as president, not just why conservatives need him as the GOP nominee.
I think we need to stop comparing everything and everyone to Reagan.
Who exactly is running for President here - the pundits or FDT? Think about it.
A true leader doesn't give a rat's ass what the "experts" think.
