WHAT S.E. CUPP IMPLIED BUT DID NOT STATE

On MSNBC, she gave 5 steps the GOP can take to avoid oblivion:
1) Democrats are not the Visigoths
“I didn’t become a conservative because someone convinced me liberals were terrible people,” Cupp explained. “Conservatism has an uplifting message that we need to promote at every opportunity. And smile more. Voters will be far less terrified of us if we don’t look like we want to eat their children.”
2) Don’t endorse stupid
“The Todd Akins of the party won’t be coddled, explained or funded,” Cupp insisted. “Strong opinions on abortion, gay marriage and other social issues are welcome, but junk science is not.”
3) Get out of the Beltway
“Step outside once in a while. Leave D.C. Invite younger thought leaders to the table and consider unorthodox ideas,” Cupp advised. “Unless they’re Newt Gingrich’s.”
4) Do not malign aggrieved parties
“Minorities, women, gays, immigrants and anyone else who didn’t vote for us this year aren’t the enemy – they’re opportunities,” Cupp warned. “Calling them ignorant and lazy probably won’t endear them to us.”
5) Unicorns aren’t real, but bipartisanism is
“Treating agreement like it’s a mythical creature is an opportunity squandered,” Cupp concluded.
“This is not to say that Democrats are innocent,” said Cupp lastly. “They fear mongered, they race-baited and, yes, they lied at times. And this isn’t’ to say that there aren’t valuable voices inside the GOP – there are. But the party apparatus that has overseen the last two presidential elections clearly doesn’t get it anymore.”
The most important underlying point:

IGNORE FATS LIMBAUGH AND ALL THE OTHER RADIO GASBAGS!!!
