A little more on the GOP predicament.  There is a defeatist tone in it that I don't like.  Look, it's not the media.  Ronald Reagan won big with a more hostile media than what we've got now.  Complaining about the media and the culture is just making excuses.

It's not the media.  We've got a faction in the party that doesn't fight back and won't fight back at all.

There's really no excuse for not fighting back.  When you don't fight back, you send all kinds of messages to the public, and none of it is good.   Even if you fight back and lose, it is better than losing by default.  At least you have the chance to win if you make the effort to win.  They just won't even try to win.

As Flip Wilson once said--- you have to put a coin in the slot before you can win.  In other words, you have to play the game because just showing up expecting to win won win it.
