Strong message, but the fact remains that the AVERAGE republican is not a policy expert, as he said. Being familiar or even knowledgeable of policy doesn’t equate to expertise.
Last night I was at my part time job. My partner on the shift is a retired career marine, 58, patriotic conservative, great guy and I trust him 100% to have my back.
News of Scalia’s death had just broken about an hour before we began our shift together. We talked prospects for Obama trying to replace Scalia. In discussing opinions I’d heard on WMAL driving in, my partner did not know who Joe DiGenova or Alan Dershowitz are. He also had to ask me whether Scalia was conservative. Later in the shift we talked about Islam. He had not heard of Dr. Bill Warner nor Lt. Col. Allen West.
I haven’t heard of warner or digenova. You don’t need to know them to be a 100% expert on American domestic and firing policy. Yes, we are policy experts.
Your fallacy is that policy is a who’s who. Your friend and millions like him know what policy they want.
