You clearly cannot — or will not — understand my problems with Daniels— which speaks to how the “talk” is extremely important in a Democratic Republic in the information age. Actually, it is perhaps more important given the limitations a President has legislatively.
I am not alone. These are the same problems shard by millions of conservatives who like a number of things he has done. But since you refuse to acknowledge the importance of the arena of ideas and how Mitch has played into our opponent’s play book a number of times, I am done with this thread. Please make any future posts to the OP and not me.
FTR, I like the Flat Tax ideas of Forbes and I will vote for Daniels if he gets the nomination.
That's because they aren't rational.
which speaks to how the “talk” is extremely important in a Democratic Republic in the information age.
Daniels is actually an excellent communicator, and he's done a great job explaining and selling conservative policy positions.
The reason you don't appreciate his talk is because it's not sufficiently combative and bombastic for your tastes. You fail to grasp the reality that while bombastic rhetoric might be great for getting a talk radio audience all fired up, it's not a good strategy for a statesman who actually wants to get elected and get things done.

Well, unless people like you accept the reality that a succesful conservative statesman can't sound like a talk radio show host, we are doomed to lose the next election.
Stop confusing your emotional satisfaction with talk radio rhetoric with effective electioneering. The two things are very differernt.
But since you refuse to acknowledge the importance of the arena of ideas
Far from it! I think the arena of ideas is crucially important, and not only does Daniels have an excellent grasp conservative policy ideas, he's also extermely effective at selling them.
Why is it that you are so prone to confuse bombastic rhetoric with serious discussion of ideas? The two are not the same thing.

This is the sad thing. It's people like you, not Daniels, who are playing into the left's playbook.

So then why are you bashing Daniels for advocating them?
and I will vote for Daniels if he gets the nomination.
Glad to hear it.
