While addressing a Republican Club in Florida, Benghazi Select Committee Chair and darling of the grassroots Trey Gowdy had this to say:
Gowdy was tapped to give the keynote address at the Volusia County Republican Party’s annual Lincoln Day dinner in Daytona Beach, where he drew a crowd of just under 700 to the event.
During his address, Gowdy warned the group that those waiting for the next Ronald Reagan, or Abraham Lincoln, would be waiting a very long time for that day to come.
“And for those of you, who are waiting for another Reagan or Lincoln, you are going to have a very long wait. I don’t see our culture ever allowing someone to be that revere again. If you are waiting for a knight to ride in on a horse to rescue our party, I don’t think its going to happen.”
Gowdy then went on to acknowledge the real individuals who made the country great-those who veterans who lay at Arlington National Cemetery, and everyday Americans that get up every morning to make a better life for themselves and their families.
Gowdy is right. The Republican party has been in the wilderness on the national level for so long that many are looking for a white knight to turn things around overnight. But perhaps it’s time we focused on coalescing around a broad national agenda that moves America forward, instead of looking for a superhero to rescue us. We should instead focus on finding principled men like Gowdy who offert honest leadership and can work to advance that agenda effectively.
