I think the Rush invitation at CPAC is the best thing that could have ever happened. The MSM, and millions of viewers were able to see Rush at his finest. Even the spin about “angry and harmful” from some in the MSM could not hide the fact that what Rush said probably touched a lot of people - conservatives love Americans and want everyone to succeed. I think a lot of people might have been surprised to hear that we really are the party of “yes”, not the party of “no” as the administration has tried to portray us.
And the concepts in that speech are exactly what led to two Reagan landslides.
And actually had carry over to the Bush landslide against Dukakis.
