We need to change the political climate, not give in to it.
When the rip tide is pulling you out to sea, the correct solution is to swim perpendicular to it until you can get into different currents.
The Rudy supporters believe the correct way to handle a rip tide it to swim out with it, because that’s just the way things are now and you might as well go along with it.
They correctly perceive that swimming against the current is wasted effort, but incorrectly advise that the alternative is to swim with it out to sea.
What we need is a leader who can CHANGE the current (akin to swimming into other currents) — NOT a leader who is driven by the currents to the wrong destination.
The Rudy supporters stink of defeat.
Awesome post!
