Thomas Sowell has said that what is needed is an “articulate Republican.”
Carter’s mess looks a lot like B. Hussain Obama’s mess, but it was America’s great good fortune that the Repubs had in Reagan that rarest person–an articulate Republican.
OK, the post-Kennedy, post-modern Dems are insane, but always remember that the Repubs aren’t much good at politics.
The Repubs have family, church, community to engage their energies but the insaneocrats are all about politics all the time.
They are the party of government, and we need an articulate Republican or their natural advantage will be too great to overcome.
