Political battles are not that much different from traditional wars and battles. Most of the attention is always focused on what’s visible, what you can see, the consequences.
However, it’s far away from the geography where the real stakes are determined. Three levels: #1) The actual fighting, the battle space. #2) The assembly of Generals at HQ. #3) The cloistered closed-door meetings where the politicians decide.
The media keeps everyone focused on #1, it’s easier – there are “sides” etc. But the GOPe roadmap, and the eye-opening “Splitter Strategy”, was found by focusing intense sunlight upon #3.
