This would be a really good moment for conservatives to have a national leader who can speak with credibility & empathy about our national heritage - the proud parts & the ugly legacies - defend the best of America & call us away from a time of malice to all, charity to none.

The point is not for the Left to listen. The point is that most of the country isn't the Left & needs to hear a defense of why they should stand up to the mob. Trump isn't the problem here, but he makes the solution harder.https://twitter.com/BostonSportsHb/status/1274362217182507008 …

Too much of the populist Right seems to think you can fight something with nothing; that it's enough to just say "no." But you can't. To compete with the Left, you need a narrative of your own, grounded in truth, that withstands scrutiny & attracts the uncommitted.

True. But you can still patiently explain to onlookers why the madman is mad.https://twitter.com/herandrews/status/1274392613911695363 …

Conservatives have been losing ground in the culture war for 50 years. Ceding popular culture and academia, and the press were all bad things. Not even a Reagan would stand a chance today. He’d just be drowned out.

The Left in America is poison. It really doesn’t matter who speaks for American values. They won’t listen. The could ignore Ted Cruz or Nikki Haley just as easily as they can ignore Trump.

We speak for American values. You guys chose Trump.

I used to believe this, and part of me still wants to, but that doesn't explain the constant ground lost before Trump. Long before 2016, we had become a culture hostile to the founders, family and faith. The problem isn't Trump, but the lack of a defender in his stead.

This is a bad take when the culture war is being fought on a losing battlefield due to “conservative leaders” ceding ground over the last 20 plus years.
