Someone on Fox News this morning reminded us that establishment Republicans told us that Gerald Ford was the best Republican to beat Jimmy Carter and, we know how that turned out.
Ignore this rhetoric and vote for the person who will best support the values we hold and filter out the others.
They also told us the best thing to do after Reagan was to elect his vice president - who had been his main opponent in the primaries in 1980. By doing so we killed the momentum of the Conservative Counterrevolution we had started in the 80s.
