We don’t need a bigger anything.
We need a pared down, essentialized, easy to understand platform, and/or set of core principles and positions.
There is plenty that nearly everybody on the right agrees on. It’s enough.
What we don’t have is a leader with teeth, brains and guts. Somebody with a clear head, sharp focus and some decent presentation skills.
Everybody seems to have an axe to grind or an excuse to make or some weird burden of unearned guilt.
We are at this point more like Imperial Rome or Weimar Germany than revolutionary America.
Getting where we need to be will not be easy. And above all it will require great economy of thought.
