Someone like Palin.
Actually, Palin is the only one who can, at the moment. But she has to be just as mean a SOB as Reagan, and Reagan may have looked like a nice fellow but he really, really was not. He could play politics of personal destruction right along with Clinton.
Not many conservatives can do that. Just not wired that way.
Thanks for your reply. I was going to say something like “fight fire with fire” - note my tagline.
Without being extremely courageous and willing to use virtual fisticuffs, the conservatives will remain the party of eunuchs (at best).
Fighting with bloody dishonest dirty tactics street fighters, following the tournament rules gets you killed, quickly but painfully.
