But in many cases, the state, establishment staffers and agencies are often as much to blame as the establishment politicians are.

Look at the policies, tactics, advertisements and strategies that are often employed. Many times, the playbook has not changed in decades.

PassCode Creative — which does political advertising videos in addition to country music videos — captures candidates and their messages in a way that resonates with people outside the Beltway because they not only are based in Nashville but also have not been in D.C. to have their creativity diluted by what is often an insufferable political class of operatives in Washington.

When I did my profile of them, Eric Welch, one of the co-founders of PassCode Creative along with Josh Gatlin — who is the son of country music star Larry Gatlin — was on set filming a Dierks Bentley commercial for Walmart.

Fundamentals obviously matter in politics, and PassCode Creative has shown that it gets the fundamentals of politics and political messaging.

But too often, the timid, feckless, can’t-think-outside-the-box Beltway establishment are either too careful or too scared to find groups like PassCode Creative.

This mentality is reflective and symbolic of much that is wrong with the Beltway elites, and it’s a mentality that needs to change if conservatism is to advance undiluted.
