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!
No, Frum is attacking conservatives (Americans who believe in the Constitution and Natural Law) and demanding they accept socialism like Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid and now Obamacare.
Nobody here is defending Frum or his stance. He’s dead wrong.
To win we need a majority and a leadership that will take us along a conservative path. That majority will include RINOs. It is simple political calculus.
We need to hold their feet to the fire on the agenda. In the meantime get a majority and stop the drift.
