You sir, have the attitude that General Gates had in “The Crossing” after George Washington announced that he planned to attack the Hessians at Trenton. If General Washington had listened to General Gates, we’d have a Queen right now and be singing “Rule Britannia”. If Ted listens to you, we’ll end up with a RINO for the Republican nomination, and He will probably lose to Hitlery, or Fauxcahontas. Never ever give up.
And General Washington knew the value of a strategic retreat.
