Agree on that.
And not only the conservative message but with some style, some excitement.
I know “style” may seem irrelevant to purpose but it is not irrelevant to campaigns.
I am old enough now to say that every presidential campaign in my life, going back to JFK, was won by the guy who seemed a little more likeable—with the single exception of Nixon.
Nixon was the better candidate, and the U.S. was a troubled nation back then too, and he was the one prepared to deal with the troubles.
But he wasn’t necessarily the guy an average American would choose at a backyard barbeque over Humphrey and McGovern. As a politician, yes...as a neighbor down the street, probably not.
So whomever we pick to thrash the disgusting Hillary or the braindead Biden, or whatever scheming envious piece of crap that they throw at us, our choice has to have a good American message but he/she also has to be someone we could know and like.
I think there are a few potential candidates of that description on our team already.
Nixon ran as Mr. Tough Guy who was going to crack down on the antiwar crazies.
As for the last two elections, a lot of people felt bad for John McCain because he was tortured in the Hanoi Hilton, but he had no real message to run on and his age and physical condition worked against him. I wouldn’t say Mitt Romney wasn’t a likable guy, but again no real message that could rally the voters or any fight in him.
That and neither of them had likable wives. That’s probably a factor as well in a candidate’s electability.
