That's the big truth that all the so-called "conservative" experts miss. I thought Romney should have been an attacker, but the sad fact is we are not now a center-right country. We are center-left. The takers outnumber the producers. The takers by nature will disregard appeals to the good of the country. They want things for free. The country has changed irrevocably. Time for a split.
Brit Hume said it last night.
The 40% of the moderates - whom every one went after - are liberals.
We live in a center-left country and if we continue to write off New York and California, we will never win a national election. And that’s true regardless of whom the GOP might nominate in the future.
