“David? David FRUM? Didn’t you just get FIRED?”
You are addressing this to the wrong poster — it would be much more appropriate for many other posters. Frum is ATTACKING the Republicans, thereby helping the Democrats.
The necessary and sufficient counterexamples are two:
a) Ronaldus Magnus, who ran as a conservative and governed as one, and won two landslides.
b) Obama ran AS a centrist, but is governing as a Stalinist. What is the trend in HIS approval ratings?
Cheers!
