Obama’s Trump Card

Obama’s Trump Card - Thomas Sowell - National Review Online
"Why Republicans seem not to understand the crucial importance of putting the same time and attention into articulating their positions as the Democrats do is one of the enduring mysteries of American politics.

It was obvious that the Democrats coordinated their talking points and catch-phrases — “social justice,” “tax cuts for the rich,” etc. — even before the overheard and recorded statements of Sen. Chuck Schumer about Democrats’ plans to repeatedly use the word “extreme” to characterize Republicans.

But how many Republican catch phrases can you remember?
Republican rhetoric tends to range from low key to no key."

Can you close your eyes and imagine a republican candidate, at any level-state-local-national, that articulated the vision of simply paying for what you bought?

With passion?

I don't think that winning elections ought to as hard as it is for us.

We need more Alan Jagers (Muskegon county commissioner) in the republican world.
