You see there is no way to know what Republicans believe when they go on these shows, and succumb to Dem talking points. They are always on defense.
Do they believe the Dems premise? Are they simply trying to get out of the interview unscathed? Who are they trying to appeal to?
Regardless, they leave the interview WITHOUT teaching the public a darn thing about economics, the perils of a nanny state, conservatism.
So, the interview has been unproductive and counter productive.
For a conservative to win the public, he must TEACH the public why THEY are conservative and why conservatism is a winning philosophy.
Ronald Reagan did that. Others have tried...but few can do it the way Ronnie did.
