Casey Stengel: "Can't anybody play this game?"

A quote attributed to the man who was manager of the expansion New York Mets in 1962.  It is an apt metaphor for the GOP.

The GOP can win if they wanted to.  Maybe they just don't want to, or don't know how.

Reagan could do it, and he did.  Are there any others in the GOP who could today?  I am getting the impression that there aren't.  Hopefully, I'm wrong.

It isn't entirely a matter of ability.  The appropriate temperament helps.  There's bound to be some out there with that.  No, the abilities have to be honed to perfection by somebody who knows what they are doing.

Maybe Reagan did it naturally.  Anybody new won't be because that natural quality is being beaten out of us.
