Republican Primary Tactic for Opposing Hillary

It has been 6 months since my last post. I took some time to finish a second master’s degree but now with that out of the way, it’s back to Carnivore!

So Hillary Clinton is running for president. No surprise there and chances are she will have little opposition from fellow Democrats. However, if the Democrat Party nominates Hillary, they will be backing a profoundly flawed candidate.

In contrast, the Republican Party will have a large field of perhaps twenty candidates vying for their party’s nomination. There are about 14 months until the Republican National Convention where the Republican candidate will be chosen and in that time, it is essential that those seeking the nomination refrain from sniping at each other. To do so would result in a weakened opponent emerging to face Hillary in the general election. Remember Reagan’s Eleventh Commandment: Thou shall not speak ill of another Republican.

A much better course of action would be to apply the military tactic of concentration of firepower - that is: all the Republican primary candidates focus their efforts against Hillary. The candidate that most effectively attacks the record and capability of Hillary will earn the right to face her in the general election without being bloodied by their fellow Republicans. The challenge will be for the GOP primary candidates to resist the urge to attack each other. 

In my next post, I will discuss Hillary’s biggest vulnerability – her complete lack of understanding of economics.
