“So Obama misses 80% of his votes and that’s ok, but De Mint misses 5 of 12 and that’s horrible?? No, won’t fly.”
But it only seeps in with many people if this (and everything else) is repeated over and over and over. I know it sounds silly, but...
There are a lot of stupid people out there who simply don’t understand things the first hundred times they hear it.
Communication, repetition, seizing the public’s attention, etc.- so many of the GOP’s woes could be wiped away if we just made our points like the Dems do, and worked around the media instead of waiting for them to rescue us.
