There's a scene in the movie "Patton" in which Patton looks down on a field of battle where his tank command routs the tank corp of the German General Rommel, and Patton calls out, "Take that, you bastard! I read your book!"
Patton studied Rommel's book to learn him better, so he could beat him.
Football coaches go over hours of film to learn the moves and the strengths of their opponents.
But Democrats do not study their adversaries, not nearly enough.
This morning, I watched as CNN interviewed Senators coming out of the Zuckerberg hearings.
First, they interviewed a Democrat from Delaware, Sen. Coons, who was careful, articulate, qualifying every assertion with modifying phrases. He could have been testifying in court, his statements were so careful and well constructed and bullet proof.
But then they caught a Republican senator from Louisiana, with the disorienting name of John Kennedy, and he shuffled his feet and said, "I'm giving away at least 75 IQ points to Mr. Zuckerberg, I know that, but he's a whip smart man, and I think he could go back to California and shoo those $1200 an hour lawyers from his office and say, 'I'm gonna write a new users' agreement that's not written in Swahili that most folks can understand, so they'll know how we're gonna use their information.' And he knows there's three things about the Internet and one of 'em is how it can poison elections, and I bet he can figure out how he can stop us from drinking that poison every time we boot up our computers. I sure hope he can, because if he can't we got much bigger problems than Mr. Zuckerberg."
What this Republican did in those few moments before the camera was amazing. First, the contrast between the short, nervous, bald Democrat, who was ever so careful and the tall, patrician but ever so folksy Republican, with a shock of white hair, carelessly flopping in his eyes was stark.
And then came the smooth flow of funny remarks we can laugh at and agree with--user contracts in Swahili--which appeals to his base back in Louisiana where they know Swahili's are Black and live in Africa and got no business on our computers here in the USA and anyway, nobody can understand all that legalese, which is what Senator Coons speaks and what is in those users agreements.
We need smart, smooth, dumb like foxes Democrats like they got in the Republican party.
They are beating the stuffing out of us.
The South had no factories, few armories, sparse infrastructure at the beginning of the Civil War, but they had better leaders, effective generals and they nearly won that war with leadership.
The Republican Party, which is basically a Southern party--a party which knits together those Alabama-in-between areas from Wisconsin to Montana to Pennsylvania--has been kicking the bejezzus out of Democrats with better generals for years now.
If the Democrats hope to regain Congress, the courts and/or the Presidency, they will need to find somebody who has read the Fox News book.
Just watch Fox News: This morning some leggy blond in a dazzling red blouse interviewed a 22 year old coed from the University of Tennessee who had gone viral with her photo wearing a Women for Trump T shirt and a gun tucked in her waistband, pointed toward her crotch.
The whole interview was eye candy.
It was all about how coeds needed guns to protect themselves on campus, but the Democrats don't want anyone under 21 buying a gun and they don't want guns on campus. Well, Fox will have you know, Trump women aren't having any of it.
Dream on that and eat your heart out.
Democrats should be watching Fox every day, figuring out how they succeed and thinking about how to counter that.
When they go low, we go high. And how did that work out for us?
