The left have enjoyed widespread acceptance of many falsehoods as fact. These include the falsehoods that 1) they are the friends of the middle class and the ‘little guy’, 2) they are intellectual, 3) they are non-discriminatory and better for blacks and minorities, 4) they are more altruistic, 5) they represent the middle of the road non-radical position.

For many of these the exact opposite is true. Republicans, however, spend the vast majority of their time trying to defend themselves against claims from the left that it is the Republicans who are radical.

To win back the country conservatives and Republicans have to be willing to take the fight to the left, and control the narrative. You don't win fights by backpedaling and not throwing any punches. If you let the other side load up and take shots without having to worry about getting hit back, they will, and some of those shots will land.

It is refreshing to watch someone like Trump who is willing to throw punches and mix it up. The Republicans need to ridicule the left and push them back onto their heels. It's required.

I foresee debates in which the Republican candidates, to put space between Trump and themselves, will actually attack him for his stand on the BC issue. Triangulate between Trump and 0, lose the base.

An often repeated myth, Perot cost Bush the election. The exit polls showed that the SECOND CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT IN 1992 WAS BILL CLINTON. If Perot is not in the race, Clinton wins with a larger edge. Look it up, it doesn't fit the narrative that the parties want you to follow, but it is true. What part of the R's and D's are just the left and right wings of a Socialist bird doesn't anyone understand?

True, the TEA party is attempting to steer the party to a Constitutional stance, but the R's are still miles away.
