‘Politics is the art of the possible.’
— Bismark
Rand doesn’t care about what is possible. He could help the GOP gain a victory 80% of the time, but he’s too cool for that! He needs to be right 100% of the time. Which is one reason we lose so very much. A lot of things become impossible if people like Rand refuse to seize the possibilities.
I think he’s trying to carve out a niche for himself
Let’s face it, we may have hated McCain but the GOP picked him nearly twice. It worked for him being the maverick.
Except in this case he is not right.
Nothing exempts really tough decisions from being really, really stupid Rand.
