It should come with a laugh track,
though I believe (and have
said as much) he is correct about Iowa.
It is a small but telling story: she is tough, persistent and forgets nothing.
Those are some of the reasons she is so formidable as a contender, and why
Republicans who think she would be easy to beat are wrong. The Republican
presidential nomination is the most fluid and unpredictable contest in decades,
but the Democratic nominee is likely to be Hillary. Not without a fight, not
without losing early contests (probably Iowa, for starters) and not without
bruises and bumps. … ..… .. Tackle issues families care about and Republicans too often shy away
from. Jobs, the economy, taxes and spending will be big issues this campaign,
but some issues that used to be "go to" ones for Republicans, like
crime and welfare, don’t have as much salience. Concerns like health care,
the cost of college and social mobility will be more important. The Republican
nominee needs to be confident in talking about these concerns and credible
in laying out how he will address them. Be bold in approach and presentation.Go after people who aren’t traditional Republicans. Aggressively campaign
for the votes of America’s minorities. Go to their communities, listen and
learn, demonstrate your engagement and emphasize how your message can provide
hope and access to the American Dream for all. The GOP candidate must ask
for the vote in every part of the electorate. He needs to do better among
minorities, and be seen as trying.Be strong on Iraq. Democrats have bet on failure. That’s looking to be an
increasingly bad wager, given the remarkable progress seen recently in Iraq.
If the question is who will get out quicker, the answer is Hillary. The Republican
candidate wants to recast the question to: who will lead America to victory
in a vital battleground in the War on Terror? There will be contentious fights
over funding the troops and over intelligence-gathering right after the parties
settle on their candidates. Both battles will help the Republican candidate
demonstrate who will be stronger in winning the new struggle of the 21st century.
