I just have faith in conservatives across the country. We lost with Bob Dole and we lose every time we run a RINO or someone equally to the left on issues.
Dole:
-—Too old
-—War Hero (in the last war...and a decades-old war)
-—Popular Senator (with the media)
-—Unpopular senator (with the GOP base).
-—Too old (for emphasis)
-—Heartland values, but not a conservative
-—Famed for “working with the other side”
-—Too old
McDole would simply be a 1996 redux.
We can win on national security and probably on the economy. (Remind voters of Bill Clinton’s promised tax cut in ‘92. Within 2 months he “discovered!” that Bush pere had “lied about the economy” and Clinton was “forced” to push the biggest tax increase in history)
