An old observation, but the political press does love their supposed GOP tough guys, though usually they're just fake macho bullies and not even reasonably genuine tough guys. You know, Chris Christie types. Guys who just yell at people and "get things done" even though they don't get anything done. Corrupt belligerent assholes, every time.
This thought inspired by remembering that there hasn't been much news about the ultimate GOP Daddy, Rudy 911, lately.
