Hume: GOP Can Lose If Nominee Painted Successfully As An Extremist
"The majority of the public will decide it is time to make a change, then the only question is does the other party present an alternative that people feel is acceptable, a plausible president? Someone that they are not afraid to put in the White House. And this is where the dilemma for the Republicans becomes very clear," Brit Hume said on "FOX News Sunday" today.
"A lot of Republicans think Obama is so weak that they ought to nominate the most conservative person they can find because they can't lose. I think they can lose if they nominate somebody who can be successfully painted as an extremist or exotic character not worthy of the trust needed for the Oval Office. So, I think the argument that the president makes on class warfare, rich versus poor, and all that may rally his base but it's not going to win this election," Hume said.
