O'Toole made the right calculation, don't worry about the crazy right base, they wont vote for anyone in numbers that can actually cost you the election. Actually make some appeals to the center, and try to with the was instead of winning the twitter battles. His problem is the center didn't believe him, we've all eaten a gift wrapped conservative turd before.
