Did Eastwood Go Too Far for the GOP?

  Most conservative pundits are slowly — if reluctantly — acknowledging the impact of Clint Eastwood’s performance last Thursday at the GOP Convention. I say “performance” because that’s what it was. I missed identifying it at the time because, like most, I was locked into convention mode.  Hopefully you heard Michael Barone’s explanation of it’s intent on Hugh’s show Friday, and Hugh Hewitt’s analysis of the impact.

From Mia Love to Artur Davis to Susana Martinez to Condoleezza Rice to Ted Cruz, Republicans showed in a substantive way that this is not a party of “old White men.” They made the case against Obama and for conservatism in a way that...
