That and Ingraham suggesting that another way can be found that doesn't involve compromising hard line Republican stances.
Quote:The Republicans have to take a lesson from -- and I hate to bring up Reagan again -- when Goldwater got shellacked in '64, Bill Buckley and Brent Bozell Sr. and all these conservatives got together and they said, we're going to figure out how to sell this idea of economic conservatism and the conservative framework to new voters. And they went into the South and they transformed Mississippi and Alabama, all these places where people had never voted Republican before.
This was the "Southern Strategy", which involved stoking racism and pumping white southerners full of fear so they vote Republican. Not sure where the new well of bigotry and fear is going to come from.
