The CPC didn't have the guy to speak first and think later when it came to Trudeaus incompetence and then topped off by the black face hypocrisy.
Scherer with measured responses and keeping things PC may placate the media and national networks in coverage so as to not rock the boat to keep a clean campaign, but any pseudo-venom didn't seem genuine from Scherer. He needed to go for the throat and get a bit in the mud, and be genuine about it. Many Canadians would at least listen to that, and having some passion stirred around it. Many more would jump off the fence. Not saying to turn this into a WWE promo, but in this day and age, to topple a guy who got there based on who his dad was along with his youth and freshness, the CPC need more then a solid family man with a solid CPC background. They need a character, a guy who can fire from the hip, and be half showman and half politician when the time calls for it.
Like it or not, the Trump campaign and win shows that the general population, whether they are proud of it or not, respond to some showmanship and some mud raking. Its not the pure politics of our parents or grand parents, but so be if, society and its values and what stimulates it, isn't the same society either. It can't be the only strategy or base the whole platform, but they want to have a guy who will be call it like he sees it and nail a guy like Trudeau to a wall with the garbage he's pulled.
