As much as you or I don't like the idea, say the GOP nominee is Romney.
How would you design a campaign, both publicly and behind the scenes to pressure, nudge, guide, drag, politically blackmail, grind/wear him down etc. so that he actually goes harder to the right than the MSM and squishy American middle thinks he ever would? And as such, he then would posses the stones to actually start making the drastic cuts, work hard with a GOP flipped Congress, and do the drastic stuff like ending baseline budgeting that's needed to save America from fiscal ruin?
My one thought is that such a plan would have to have as it's cornerstone, "A death of a thousand cuts" way of gutting Obamacare piece by piece, packaged as "reforms", so that he can save face on his own failed Massachusettscare, since not admitting it was a failure and talking out both sides of his mouth about it seems to be a big sticking point with him.
Obviously the Lefties and MSM will know what's up, and whine, but by spreading out the end of Obamacare a bit would deny them the one cathartic rally point that would let them focus all their complaints.
Thoughts?
