“Seriously, the GOP is lurching from iceberg to iceberg looking for all the world like a stiff searching for a hole to fall in.”

If your view is formed from reading FR, it will be distorted.

If you remember Nixon was written off after 1960, only to win in 1968.

Or Reagan faiiled to get the nomination in 1976, but got it in 1980 and won.

Political adults don’t just repeat mantras, lurch from cult of personality to cult of personality, or think that chasing rinos out is an answer.

It took those two, two term GOP Presidents 4 to 8 years of preparation, to win.

“If your view is formed from reading FR, it will be distorted”.

Had you considered other words other than “distorted” in your sentence, or is that the word which gives the sentence the meaning you meant?

I am not attacking you, but am curious if another word might not have been more apt.

Influenced, hindered, guided?

My views were given a given a place to grow. As were yours.
No?

Against a sitting republican president.

Come to think of it he had been a two term vice president.

What point are you making?

Which has nothing at all to do with what I wrote here.

Fortunately, it is not.
