I take your point, and I agree. Those dorks screw-up the rare opportunities they get to make an argument.
Why don’t we have Allen West, Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich or their like active at a national level? There are Conservatives who can argue conservatively without screwing it up.
I remember Sarah Palin in her first exposure to the national scene. The precise reason for her overwhelming popularity was her ability to articulate.
I think the MSM has learned their lesson from Ronald Reagan. They covered what he said BECAUSE it was articulate, and that DOES make good print and nightly-news sound-bites. It also cost the Democrats the White House, so that mistake will never be repeated with another articulate Conservative.
Well now you’re tapping into the exact problem, which is that our own establishment - the folks who ran Romney’s campaign for example, are scared of real sharp truth based discourse.
Therefore, our own establishment fights against all three you mentioned. Newt was clearly the best in the debates, but the GOPe killed his campaign. They have helped the Jurassic media kill Palin as a national figure buy pretending she is stupid. All I can say, is that for someone who is so stupid, her decisions somehow all end up brilliant.
And they failed to support West in his recount too. Our establishment is the problem.

That has become my #1 criteria for a Republican candidate - ability to go around the media and articulate a vision. It is why in the last election I first was for Herman Cain, and later was for Newt.
No one else showed any ability in this area at all. It is the core of why Romney was such a terrible candidate. He might well have been the worst of the primary bunch in this area.
