the intensity of advocates like Dave manages to get you almost to a draw in culture war issues—but you’re losing there, too, you’re a minority on ssm, abortion rights, even transgender in the military! (See poll just today). So then you’re just left with structural props.

But it’s not a fight with the wide appeal you imagine it to have because it doesn’t affect most Americans on a quotidian level. It’s can’t compensate for the “meat and potatoes” policy—/jobs/wages/social welfare, ie, health care, child care. That’s where you fail.

Like 99% of liberals and Dems think that SF school board stuff is crackpottery and bad history—see, eg, Chotiner’s NY’er interview with a SF board member. There’s no mass base for that—but, if you want to run on that vs. Romney child care plan, Dems will take that in a second.

So the problem, as many of us said 5 years ago, is that Trump was the ONLY spokesman. And it hasn't gotten much better.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Who do you see as a good spokesman for this? I know a lot of the fake religionists love Sasse, but he comes across as a prissy, bossy, arrogant schoolmarm, & decent people don't like that. Romney is shop-worn & has become what he decried. Have you anyone in mind?

I like Sasse a lot, but he's not going to be GOP POTUS nominee any time soon. Likely ditto Rubio. Larry Hogan should run for SEN. Romney has always been bad at this. We'll see. Possibles include DeSantis, Haley, Tim Scott, Cotton, Dan Crenshaw, Noem, maybe (less likely) Pence.
