This article avoids Bacon’s real problem. He views the world through the lens of President Ronald Reagan without respecting how the world has changed. The Cold War is over, the Soviet Union is gone, and Islam and China are rising. The digital world has changed economics and global relations. He also does not understand the history of our political parties. This is why he keeps picking fights with elements on the political right he disagrees with, alienating a substantial number of voters.

Raised visibility which results in book deal and speaking fees….that’s the motivation for Bacon. It’s all about the $$$$. And he loves to be in the spotlight.

Don Bacon is a traditional Republican. Now there's an oxymoron for you.

Don said both the D's and the R's have gone off the rails, but his ego reassures us our country needs his values. Reminds me a lot of Democrat Dan.
