1. The error in responses like this: assuming the world consists only of permanently committed right-wingers & permanently committed left-wingers, leaving no point to being persuasive, reasonable, or even correct; all is just a test of competing Wills to Power. I reject that.https://twitter.com/julie_kelly2/status/1105090761824133120 …

Reagan apologized publicly, what, once? For Iran-Contra. To your point about persuasion: Not saying anyone should be jerks, but jerks get the girl more than the pushover does.

Meh, I don’t think politicians in general have respect for people who disagree with them. They’re thin-skinned by nature. But I’m legit curious about actual policies not personalities that will persuade swing voters. That’s an answer I can never get from Trump-skeptical Repubs.

There's a longer debate there, but the short answer is that personalities and honesty and decency and respect are often as important, if not moreso, to persuasion as policies are. Ignore them at your peril.
