There is one FR meme I hope is now dead, dead, dead.
"So what if (candidate) has a dodgy background?? (Candidate) is as well qualified as Obama, and he's President!!"
Conservatives who are clearly serious thinkers and who have a serious resume, with no major baggage, WON.
Conservatives who did not clear those bars, LOST.
The LSM is always going to give conservatives those higher bars to clear. Do I like that? Hell no, but it is a fact of life. We need to accept that fact and run candidates who can clear them.
Great post.
We can’t say Obama is unqualified, and then justify supporting a candidate by saying they’re just as unqualified as Obama.
