>I agree that the message should be clearer, more consistent, and firmer, and that we shouldn't let people like Frank get away with so much.<

Well this is precisely what I think should occur. It is not that Republicans should shout, but that they should present their views as if they believe them. They should also never fail to brutally destroy opponents who use illogic to counter their claims. They should destroy them with "acceptable" theatrics and firm reason. In this country they will need both. Reason without theatrics is boring. Theatrics without reason is to be a Democrat.

>But the way is not by imitating them, but by learning to dramatize things better in an acceptable style.<

Well I certainly did not mean to say Republicans should literally imitate Democrats. I meant that they should present their positions with facts, but with passion similar to that of the Democrats. No one should lose their dignity to act like Barney and some of the other Democrats (mercy, how base), but they should learn to present their words in such a way that they have conviction. Republicans need to study Alan Keyes (grin).

>Frankly, we need younger people, who have a better sense of how contemporary mass media work. It is no accident that Asa Hutchinson was especially noted for his strong performance during the trial.<

Precisely.
