In response to ""You can't go ballistic, and then expect people to see your side as the reasonable, thought out option."" by Loyola

If only the GOP base would listen to that advice. Frank was in a lose/lose situation.

No answer he gave would have accomplished anything.

If he gave a thoughtful answer, it'd please the supporters in the crowd, be ignored by the detractors, and get zero news coverage, thereby changing zero opinions.

If he gives a snarky answer, his supporters love him for it, his detractors continue to hate him, but the news picks it up.

I think he loses less in the second scenario because there's the chance that people will see the Hitler lady and realize the opposition is full of hot air.
