If the conservative cause depends on the populist appeal of one personality, or a second rate imitations, then we`re not going anywhere. Voters looking for Republican leaders want to see independence in metal. They will not be impressed by the sight of yes-men and flatterers flocking to Mar-a-Lago.
I think the message is when fundamental rights and freedoms are under attack, we have to stand up, we have to fight, we have to be strong and clear. And when you do that, people rally. I mean, the issues at stake, reproductive rights, abortion access are our fundamental rights that transcend partisanship. And we saw that in Kansas, we saw it last night here in New York. I think we`re going to continue to see it.
