Why are you so stuck on playing defense?
Have you already forgotten eight years ago, when at about this same time (I think, I may be wrong), the battle cry was "Anybody but Hillary!" We got our wish. We got Obama.
Stay focused on conservatives, Republicans, leaders for our side. For all you know, Bernie Sanders will be the nominee. Playing defense, thinking defensive strategy, is a bad play right now.
Time for OFFENSE. Advance conservatism. A guy with a 26-year-history of party-switching and lefty-"moderate" politics and a celebrity "personal brand" he himself values in the multi $billions ... or a man young enough to be his son whose entire adult life has been dedicated to the law and the Constitution? And the concept of limited government?
You can keep the sincere old blowhard money-maker who likes government and gages value by dollars. I'll take the sincere younger guy who likes the Constitution and gages value by liberty. That would be Ted Cruz.
I AM talking offense, Fin. Attacking Hillary is not defensive.
