The first that caught my eye was a comment by, Rick Perry, who said, "I'm ready for the next level. Let me tell you, I hope I am the Tim Tebow of the Iowa caucus." And maybe Mr. Perry believes it's good for him to be Tebow, but for the rest of us, I don't think that's what we want. Because, as I've noted before about number fifteen, he's a total one-way street. His whole world revolves completely around him and his lord and nobody else counts a whit.
While at Florida, he kept the ball more than any quarterback I've ever seen, abandoning others who had as much talent as he did at their positions, but were ignored if he could carry the football himself. And now he's doing the same thing at the pro level, except it's not the same kind of league. And once or twice around the horn and his NFL competitors will learn to adjust their defenses to his game. And when that happens, it's quite likely he'll spend a good part of his life in traction. Because when a thousand pounds of defensive lineman land on your body over and over again, something major's going to break, it's only a matter of time.
Consequently, if Perry thinks it's a good idea to be like Tebow, he's telling us a lot. Primarily that he'll do everything himself, whether it's good for others or not. And more importantly, he sounds like he thinks the presidency's all about him and nobody else.
And then there's Gingrich, who said if electability had been the question for primary candidates in 1979, Ronald Reagan would have never become president, stating that his debating skills against President Obama will "outshine any earlier fouls he has made."
To me, there couldn't be a better example of what Gingrich's delusions are all about than his own comments. Because to my recollection, personal aura, communication skills and rapport with the public were Reagan's greatest assets. In fact, many of his detractors claimed he was all flash and polish. In addition to that, debating against him was like running into a buzz saw, because he glossed over his mistakes in a very folksy manner, bringing listeners closer to him.
Career wise he'd been a movie actor, a TV pitchman and governor of California, all of which helped round out his rapport building skills as well as preparing him for a leadership role, which he performed extremely well. So, if Gingrich, who's nothing more than a political hack, truly believes he's in the same league as Ronald Reagan, he's got some serious delusional problems.
But more than that, if Gingrich also actually thinks that the presidential contest comes down to how well he can do in debate versus the incumbent, then what he's really saying is that the presidency boils down to who does best at piling BS. And if that's truly the case, and total BS production counts the most, then it's time to bring back Trump.
That's it for today folks.
Adios
