Ronald Reagan won two elections in a landslide by being Ronald Reagan — and, most important of all — explaining to a broad electorate how what he advocated would be best for them and for the country. Newt Gingrich likewise led a Republican takeover of the House of Representatives by explaining how the Republican agenda would benefit a wide range of people.

Neither of them won by pretending to be Democrats. It was precisely the Republican "moderates" — Bob Dole and John McCain — who lost disastrously to Democrats who were initially little known individuals but who knew how to talk.

Man! I wish I could put it as succinctly as Dr. Sowell.

Give us another Republican candidate as weak as Juan and Bob and the country is guaranteed to go one of two ways.
Either a circle jerk that we will be a half a century recovering from or a revolution that we will be half a century recovering from.

We need a Repub Conservative to step up to the plate now to start pointing out everything Zer0 does that’s anti-American then say what they’ll do that supports America and that’ll be a full time job.
