He doesn’t need a strategy. The play is the same year after year no matter the candidate.
The communications arm of the Democratic Party (ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN) paints the candidate as stupid, ruthless and uncaring. To prove their point they find serious, serious soundbites that demonstrate how seriously serious this issue is for the country.
At the same time the entertainment arm of the Democratic Party (Letterman, SNL, Oprah, Stewart et al) paints the candidate as so stupid, ruthless and uncaring that it’s a joke to even consider such a stupid, ruthless and uncaring candidate.
Regan was an amiable dunce, Bush was just a dunce, Dole was just so old that his stupidity was to be expected and McCain was brilliant until he was the actual candidate, then he was the worst of Regan and Dole...an old dunce without the amiable. (Most of us felt about the same on that one however.)
If it doesn’t play out that way in two years no matter who the Republican candidate is I’ll eat my tie or drink a MiTai.
“Regan was an amiable dunce,”
Are you of this opinion or are you saying the media portrayed him in this manner. Reagan was by far not a dunce.
