Being Right In Isolation Ain't Like Being Wrong In Public


Speaking as a Republican, and an "actual victim" (for now) it's wild to discover Jennifer Rubin's outlook jibes with my point of view, all the way down to the race results:
Right-wingers may think ideological purity is what counts at the polls, but in fact voters, including conservatives, respond to positive, confident leaders who overcome adversity and don’t bemoan their own plight. They want politicians to console and assist actual victims, not claim the mantle of victimhood for themselves. (Maybe that is why New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie continually leads in, albeit premature, 2016 presidential polling while Texas Sen. Cruz is barely ahead of Rick Santorum.)

That's another conservative piece that sounds like it could've been directed at Glenn Reynolds, as he and the Right continue flirting with Cruz, to the detriment of the cause.


And more than just the put-upon tone of all these wealthy men, is the realization they're just talking to hear themselves talk - if we lose we lose - all while turning a profit as they do so.


Let's not forget that.


My life is at stake in my words - what's Reynolds risking?


Nothing - he can lose every day.


If the Right never wins another election, Glenn Reynolds KNOWS there's millions of seemingly-intelligent people who will still treat him like he knows something more - and continue to give him money to maintain the illusion.


That's crazy - and down right no-value-for-a-dollar un-American.


I'd venture to say, that type of behavior is probably a main reason the results are so damned predictable,...
