Is your life really all about extremes with no common sense?

Look what the GOP and their/YOUR electability doctrine got us in the last 50 years.

Reagan didn’t start out electable but showed himself to be the superior candidate anyway. He was an actor and divorced, not what people thought the President should be.

Way too often the false issue of electability eliminates solid candidates because the GOP doesn’t have the balls to get behind a doctrinally sound candidate in favor of a populist.

Name the great GOP presidents since WWII?

How many candidates were electable vs doctrinally solid?

When was the two term California Governor Reagan, that almost defeated a sitting President for the GOP nomination in 1976 not electable?
