Well said, but picking those issues means downplaying others, and that can look a lot like "running for the center."
...
Rather than pushing too many at once (and thereby uniting all of the Democrats at once as happened in the ill-fated Special Election), the Republican Party should stay true to its basic principles and pick one cross-over issue at a time and build political momentum and with that find success- and that’s no fallacy.
Not picking too many issues to push will be seen by many as moving to the center. There is a difference of course, but a lot hangs on the ability of the candidates to hold the base and win those cross-over votes.
It's a good strategy, but the thing is, the other guys will be doing it too, so there's no guarantee one will be successful.
Well said.
