TPM’s Lauren Fox is at CPAC today and found a lonely presentation by a GOP strategist which approached self-parody (emphasis added) …

“We make it so easy for them to make villains out of us,” Madrid said. “We just fall into the trap over and over and over.”

“Do you have suggestions about what we should say,” one CPAC attendee asked in the hall after the official presentation.

“Don’t talk to people the way you wouldn’t talk to your family,” Madrid responded. “I am not going to give you silver bullet words. I am just going to say don’t say bad things. Don’t offend people.”
