I didn’t say anything about handing out free stuff.
Middle America isn’t looking for free stuff.
You’re right that Reagan didn’t have to do much PR. But how many Reagans do we have? Once in a century. In the meantime, we need an approach that works and yet doesn’t betray our ideals. The recent strategies of the Republicans are losing strategies.
I know you didn’t mention handing out free stuff. But that is what the Left has been doing, and they have won big-time the last two election cycles.
This past month was a very good month for America. But that is just a short-term gain. Like you said, recent Republican strategies have been losing strategies. There is NOBODY out there right now who will change that. And, until there is, I think we are screwed.
Sadly, I think this is not accurate.
