Blah, blah, blah....WRONG AGAIN!
Wake up and smell whatever goes for coffee these days.
Listen:THERE IS NO MIDDLE ANYMORE! The Obama polarization has destroyed it for at least the next election cycle.
Think a dumbell graph on the political spectrum—not the usual bell curve. We have a bulge on the Liberal left, and one on the Conservative right, with very little in the “middle” anymore.
To WIN, we need a candidate who can increase the size of that bulge on the right.
NOT another RINO!

On the Internet, sure. But that's not the real world. The people who go to protests one way or the other aren't a large percentage of the population.

"Polarization" means people get fed up with one extreme or the other and vote accordingly, not that they permanently enroll on one extreme against the other.

If the whole country really were divided into two equal and hostile blocs, we'd be in civil war by now. It's not and we aren't.

BTW, this guy has had an interesting career: "Priest and vicar; former Nixon aide and Nixon Foundation executive director." When he says "Nixon aide," though, he means he worked for Nixon after he left office, not that he was part of the Nixon administration. Apparently, Nixon maintained his own "shadow cabinet" after he left office.
