Imagine you're a presidential campaign director. With just four months to go before election day, which of the following would you not want your candidate to post on Facebook?
A) She's worried about the "sense of defeat" within your party.
B) She regards voters as complacent about the nation's problems, comparing them to "frogs being boiled in water."
C) She feels she can't calm down, appeals for Buddha to help her, and says she's going to lay off the trail for several days to "start a deep rethinking process."
D) all of the above.
For the strategists in Taiwan's Nationalist Party — also known as the Kuomintang, or KMT — scenario "D" is no hypothetical.
