Lose To Win?

Jeb Bush says Republicans have to lose the primary to win the general election.  Spoken like a true loser.  By loser I mean someone who is accustomed to, accepts and will continue to lose.  Jeb's real concern is that he can't win the primary in the heartland should he choose to run.

To paraphrase the thought process that guides him and others like him:  You ordinary people are too committed to your crazy ideas.  You should let more open minded folks like me decide what should be important to you and the party.

We've heard this kindler, gentler pablum before.  Here's the reality.  No candidate has ever lost for being too committed to personal freedom and the Constitution. Many candidates have lost because the don't have the courage or ability to explain those positions to the American people.
