i think you are on target. If Ted is genuine like Reagan, people know it. He has to be wise about his message, but not wash it out to the middle.
Exactly. I think we’re starting to get a few trolls around here telling us that our candidates need to move to the middle. That’s how we lose elections. Any future campaign manager for a conservative candidate need only look at the losing elections of 1992, 1996, 2008, and 2012 to know that running to the middle is a surefire way to lose.
