Republicans cannot compete against Hillary in the battle of ideas. They dread the idea of the first woman presidential nominee in any major party winning a huge majority of women voters who know she will champion causes such as pay equity for women and higher wages for all workers with a passion and conviction that will lift the lives of working women and men more than any GOP candidate can dare to dream of.
Republicans cannot compete against Hillary in the battle for history. They dread the idea of a Democrat who is the first woman president leading a presidency that will come to be as fondly remembered as the two terms of the Bill Clinton presidency, which could bring a major political realignment that could last a decade or longer.
Unable to compete on the terrains of experience, ideas or history, the Republicans are reduced to reviving the ghost of Richard Nixon and his partisan politics of personal destruction and abuse of power that represents the brand of politics that Americans have come to detest—which is why it will not work in 2016.
