“We need an abrasive person who isn’t afraid of making enemies.”

You should look back at the charm and wit Ronald Reagan used before you make such a statement. Reagan had enough one liners and impish cleverness that even Tip O’Neil gave him credit for his personable leadership style as the the Republicans swept Congress. Mean spirited abrasive personalities are not the trademark of the Republican Party or true leaders.

We do need a guy who won't go around apologizing when he is right, and that unfortunately has been the hallmark of Republican leadership. Reagan stood his ground, and that (along with not worrying about who got the credit) is why he accomplished so much. Despite his charm he didn't make friends of the MSM and the far left and never would, yet he was OK with that. That is what we need.

If you don't think RR could be abrasive, you need to talk to a moonbat old enough to remember the '80's yet not so chemically muddled that they do actually remember. They still hate him.
